Development tools continue to gradually move from the classic editor the power apps portal. Here is a quick overview of some of the interesting developer tool updates available for preview…
Improved Model-Driven App Editor
General Availability Oct. 2021
In the updated editor, you can now see a live preview of your app as you edit. Custom pages are notably interesting, as this allows you to present a canvas app as its own page, a dialog, or side panel. See below photos for examples of this new feature.
For more info on custom pages, see the documentation here: Converge model-driven and canvas apps using the custom page – Power Apps | Microsoft Docs
Updated Ribbon/Command Designer
Available under Preview
This modern command editor offers a designer consistent with the other PowerApps designers. System commands are currently read-only, among other limitations.
Commands is also a new tab when viewing a table, to get better insight on what custom commands are in your environment or solution.
