Business value
Today, there's no way to view code of a canvas App in Power Apps Studio. With this feature, makers can use code view to see their app's underlying code to better understand the app's functionality. They can also copy the code to share and paste code to create new controls.
Feature details
With this feature, you can view the source code for the canvas app in a more user-friendly YAML format that is up-to-date.
With code view, you'll be able to:
- Copy controls from Power Apps Studio as YAML code.
- Paste YAML code to Power Apps Studio to create controls.
- View the YAML code within Power Apps Studio.
- Create templates for screens and reuse code.
The Power Fx formula bar must be turned on from the app settings to view the code for a control.
