Canvas coauthoring is now generally available!
Is your team still taking turns building in the Canvas designer? Have you been patiently waiting for coauthoring to be generally available to finally start building canvas apps with your teammates? Power Apps is beyond thrilled to officially announce the much-anticipated general availability of Canvas coauthoring! Now, both the Canvas designer and Modern app designer have coauthoring as a generally available feature. Fusion teams can now work in the same app at the same time, see changes made by other team members while making your own. Building sophisticated apps require teamwork from others’ expertise; with coauthoring being generally available, building Power Apps with your team has never been easier!
Enable coauthoring in Canvas
As we roll out coauthoring general availability in the Canvas designer, navigate to the Canvas designer for the desired app that you’d like to coauthor in. Then, open App settings, under New >, enable the Coauthoring toggle.
Why coauthor?
Coauthoring revolutionizes the way makers collaborate in Power Apps. It allows multiple users to simultaneously work on the same app, enabling real-time updates and seamless communication via commenting. Team members can now share ideas, provide instant feedback, and make changes without dividing efforts or consolidate changes from multiple app instances. This not only accelerates the development process, but also enhances creativity and innovation by allowing diverse perspectives to come together in the app authoring journey. The Power Apps team is excited to support this feature as GA to further empower fusion teams to build more efficiently. Visit our documentation to learn more details about this experience.
Upcoming coauthoring plans
This feature is not yet on by default, as this wave of coauthoring general availability includes some limitations, documented here. We continue to build to reach better feature parity for single-author sessions before enabling the feature to be on by default. If you have any feedback, please share with us to continue to improve the overall coauthoring experience.
