Can we search variables or texts in our app

Posted on by Voltes 294

Hi,

 

When we have an app which already complex, can we search something and PowerApp studio will give us the places (node) that contain that word we are looking for ? 

 

For example I have collection variable name "MyColor", I want to know at which places in my app I have used this variable.

 

Thanks

    For variables, you can find this in the View menu, under variables.

    When you select one of them, it will show you where the variable is defined, used.

     

    For other elements, like collections, you would have to export your app and unzip the export to go through the json of the screens in a text editor.
