We have a Power Apps Canvas App >> and it is connected to 10 SharePoint lists >> and it have 5 Power automate flows which get triggered from Power apps. Now we published this app to production

 

now we want to make a copy of this Power Apps and its related Power Automate to be able to test and have a test copy of the Power Apps and Power Automate flow.now if we use the Export and Import, then we will have to rename the Power Automate flows and this will cause us to edit the Power Apps code. so how we can solve this issue? to have 2 copies of the Power Apps and Power Automate; one for testing and the other for production. and which can allow us to import and export the Power Apps and Power Automate without having to change the Power Apps code?

 

Thanks

    The first step is to build everything in a Solution and use Connection References.  If you didn't do that you can move the apps and flows into a solution, but its a fair amount of work.  Once its all built into a solution you can export the solution and import it into a different environment.  You should then also change the references to point to other lists so that you don't disrupt production with your testing.
