Create a plan from a solution

Use Plan designer to create a plan for your existing solution. Plan designer generates a detailed document that describes your solution. The plan covers the business problem, user requirements like user roles and stories, the data model, and technologies like apps. This feature saves time when you're trying to understand a solution's content and helps makers improve an existing solution.

Note

This feature is currently only supported in English.

  1. Sign in to Power Apps.

  2. In the navigation pane, select Solutions.

  3. Select Create plan from a solution. Or, from the list of solutions, select a solution, and then select Commands > Create a plan.

    Note

    The solution must have at least one app and one associated table.

  5. Select Create plan.

  6. When the plan is created, save it. For an unmanaged solution, the plan is saved in the same solution. For a managed solution, the plan is saved in a new unmanaged solution by default.

Known limitations

  • A solution needs at least one app and one associated table to create a plan.
  • A plan recognizes apps and tables in a solution. Other objects, like flows, sites, and agents are out of scope.
  • To create a plan from an existing solution, publish the apps in the solution and then publish the solution.
  • It's not recommended to create a plan from a default solution.
