Canvas apps

Design an app screen by screen like a slide deck.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Canvas apps let you place controls freely: labels, text inputs, galleries, buttons.
  2. A gallery shows a list of records; a form shows or edits one record.
  3. Power Fx is the Excel-like formula language, for example Filter(Students, Dept = "CSE").
  4. Patch or SubmitForm saves data back to the source.
  5. Apps run in the browser, on phones and inside Teams.
💡 Real-life example: Like designing a form on paper: you decide exactly where each box and button goes.
