Hi, has anyone got experience with trying to move from a Canvas to a Model-Driven App / have tips or found some in this community on how to handle it?  Also, a good thing to have is a nice bullet point list of when to use Canvas vs. Model Driven, what the walls are you will hit / what to watch out for (depends on personas / your users, of course).  Just would be nice to have a one-page PDF of what's what on Canvas vs. Model-Driven app.

    Hi,
     
    You won't find a playbook like that, anything and everything would be a guess, suggestion.
     
    You can use either at will. Especially since you can build Canvas Apps based on a DataModel automatically.
     
    It will always depend on, what you are building, the audience, the security requirements etc, But drilling into those is not a bullet list, its a discussion.

    And moving from a Canvas App to a Model driven app again is a discussion on features, capabilities, data security, boundaries, organizations, teams, why do you want to convert, what do you think you are missing, what do you think you are gaining.

    We cannot give you peace of mind on your decision, without you laying out why you are doing it. It's like giving you a round about answer to a complex math equation that you didn't understand or konw you ask about.
