Business value
Express design is a new way to quickly get started with Power Apps by instantly transforming your visual design into an app. With Express design, makers can quickly turn existing design artifacts (including paper forms, whiteboard sketches, and Figma files) directly into a working app. The ability to create apps directly from Figma design files helps bridge the gap between design and development by accelerating the app UI development process. It allows developers and designers to collaborate effectively and efficiently to deliver great user experiences with low cost and effort.
Feature details
Designers can create designs in Figma using the Create Apps from Figma UI Kit, which provides supported components for Power Apps and includes detailed instructions for how to use the kit. Once the designs are created, simply provide the link to the Figma design file, and Power Apps will generate a new canvas app based on those designs. The design frames are automatically converted into screens in Power Apps. Once the app UI is ready, you can extend this app by connecting to data, adding app logic, and adding more screens and controls.
