Power Apps Coauthoring: App Opens Read-Only and Coauthoring Option Disappears

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

In Power Apps Canvas apps, when an app is shared with another maker using Coauthoring, why does one user sometimes get forced into Read-only mode even though they have edit permissions, while the other user can edit normally?

Additionally, why does the Coauthoring option disappear from Settings → Updates, making it impossible to re-enable coauthoring, and why does this behavior sometimes switch between users?

Is this caused by edit locks, app ownership, solution vs non-solution apps, connector authentication, or recent Power Apps updates / rollout changes, and what is the recommended way to avoid or permanently fix this issue when multiple makers need to work on the same app?
