I have an app based on a Sharepoint list. I made some changes to the Column Names in the List, and now the App is giving me tons of errors. Does this not automatically update the Column names when I refresh the Data?

Additionally, I could not find a way to restore the List in Sharepoint. Is this an option?

PowerApps will not update column names as you change them. You will have to manually change them in your app to reflect the new names.

You can restore a deleted list or list items in SharePoint, but you can't go to a previous version of the list (i.e. the one with different names).

I hope this is helpful for you.

Yes, everything is case sensitive. Use the Formula editor as much as possible as it will show you the exact name and case.
