Posted on by MIA27

I am new in learning how to make a powerapp by canvas for mobile, my datasource is Sharepoint list.

successfully, I build one by the help auto wizard, which created. I test it on pc and mobile.

This was ok for one the project site.

Now I need similar App- having fully same data structure from another Subsite List of sharepoint (as the data belongs to another project - which is vehicle service maintenance).

Is it possible to copy and paste the app and rename (as we do for general files in explorer)?. So I will have a new copy of the same app.?

Is it possible to change the data source of the app to another share point site list?.

Please advise, your details info, will help me to learn and also to save time for not building the same app again just for the sake of data source.

Thanking you all for your support for the new learner like us.

Hi @MIA27,

Is it possible to copy and paste the app and rename it (as we do for general files in explorer)?. So I will have a new copy of the same app.? Yes, you can export the app and re-import it an new and rename it

Is it possible to change the data source of the app to another share point site list?.
Yes, you can change the datasource of the app, but you have to map the controls that reflect the old data source to show the data from the new data source accordingly.
