Microsoft InfoPath Is
Retiring Completely in 2026.
Switch to NITRO Studio —
The Purpose-Built InfoPath Replacement
Microsoft InfoPath is retiring completely on July 14, 2026. It marks the full end of the InfoPath product lifecycle. No more security updates, no vendor support, no fixes. NITRO Studio by Crow Canyon Software replaces every InfoPath form and workflow inside your Microsoft Office environment — no code required, flat pricing, and a dedicated migration team.

Three Reasons You Can't Wait Any Longer
Your Forms Haven't Been Updated Since 2013
InfoPath 2013 is the last version Microsoft ever released — and development stopped there. No new features. No mobile support. No integration with modern Microsoft 365 tools. The gap between what InfoPath can do and what your teams need has been growing every year since.
InfoPath Breaks on Modern Microsoft Environments
InfoPath forms with custom code rely on sandbox solutions that Microsoft has removed from SharePoint Online. Many forms simply stop working — or require workarounds that create new technical debt every time something in your Microsoft environment changes.
Full End of Life — July 14, 2026. No Exceptions.
Microsoft's extended support for InfoPath 2013 ends July 14, 2026. This is the complete end of the InfoPath product lifecycle — not just SharePoint retirement. After that date: no security patches, no fixes, no Microsoft support of any kind. Every month you wait adds risk to the forms your operations depend on.
Everything InfoPath Did — And Everything It Never Could.
NITRO Studio is a no-code forms and workflow platform built for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. Here's what you get from day one.
Modern Form Designer
Build dynamic, mobile-friendly forms with drag-and-drop. Conditional fields, tabs, lookups, and e-signatures — no coding required.
Unlimited Workflow Automation
Replace every InfoPath workflow with modern automations. Multi-step approvals, routing, escalations, and notifications — all built in, no per-workflow charges.
Native to Microsoft 365 & SharePoint
NITRO Studio runs inside your existing Microsoft environment. No third-party platforms. No data leaving your tenant.
Cloud and On-Premises
Works on SharePoint Online, SharePoint 2016, 2019, and SE. Your data stays exactly where your compliance policies require it.
Pre-Built Business Applications
Deploy IT help desk, HR onboarding, purchase requests, and more in days — all built on the same NITRO Studio platform.
NITRO Copilot (AI-Assisted)
AI-generated email responses, AI-powered knowledge bases, and AI-assisted workflow building — practical features your team will actually use.
