How do I edit an unpublished power App form

Posted on by TJCappy

Hi All

I have customized a form in power apps and published it. the form is working as required. In the mean time my boss has asked me to make substantial additions to the form. I started to customize the form but do not want to publish before all the additions have been made. I saved the version that I am working on but did not publish it.

I now wish to continue editing the saved but unpublished version and do not find any option that will allow me to continue editing the unpublished version because I do not want to be forced to redo all the work I have already done.

Would anyone know how I can recall the form to continue editing?

Thanks

Hi @TJCappy ,

When you edit an app, you will be editing the latest version, published or not. It is only when you Play an app that you get the latest Published version.

Helpful if the form was created starting with an app, but my "App" was created from a SharePoint list using Integrate > Power Apps, so I can't "open the app" from the regular app viewer in Power Apps. Is there a way to get at the unpublished versions of an Intergration based app?

This is currently the only way to open the "App" that we are aware of (see attached):

Hi Tosimowicz,

There is a way of seeing all the versions of your form, Published and unpublished. if you go to your List settings, and then click on form settings and then in form settings you go to see versions and usage. then click on versions
you will see the number of versions (and can restore any version you wish.
The published version is indicated by the word "live".

Once you restore a version (even if you do not publish it, when you start the editing process from sharepoint, you will see the last restored version regardless if it is the live version of not.

see images below. Hope that helps you.
