Build intelligent apps and portals with Microsoft Power Apps

Power Apps lets you build three types of apps: canvas apps, model-driven apps, and Power Pages sites. This module focuses on canvas apps — the flexible, screen-based apps you design pixel-by-pixel and connect to virtually any data source. You'll explore the canvas app maker portal, learn how app controls and data sources work together, and build your first canvas app from an Excel spreadsheet.

A working app is just the starting point. In this module, you shape how your canvas app looks, how it behaves, and how it scales—customizing gallery layouts, writing Power Fx formulas, building screen navigation, adding AI capabilities, and creating reusable components that work across your entire solution.

You've built your first app. Now, it's time to publish, share it with others, and maintain subsequent versions of the app.

Model-driven app design is an approach that focuses on quickly adding components to your apps. These components include dashboards, forms, views, and charts. With little or no code, you can make apps that are simple or complex.

In this module, you'll learn about forms, grids, views, charts, and dashboards that can be used in model-driven apps.

Use Power Pages to create modern data-driven external-facing business websites. Extend Dataverse data to external and internal audiences such as customers, partners, and employees. Empower anyone inside or outside your organization to interact with the business by using Power Pages sites.

Power Pages makers spend most of their time building sites in Power Pages design studio. This module covers the full range of design studio capabilities — from adding pages and components to styling the site, securing it with the Security workspace, and using Copilot and AI-powered agents to accelerate development and enhance the visitor experience.
