Real time user data does not populate

If want to publish my canvas app and provide several users access.  If two or more users are using the canvas app at the same time...will they see each others real time data as they enter records?  

 

My application has a summary screen of user entered data to track a workflow...I tried this on two different machines at the same time and when I complete my data entry and view the summary page...from either computer...I did not see the data from the other end unless I logged out and reopened the app.

 

I've tried several searches on this topic and I'm not finding any content on this.  Any insight, links, blog posts, etc...would be extremely helpful.

 

For now my option is to use a "Refresh" icon and the onSelect property is set to Refresh(db name)

    I imagine you are wanting something like the Microsoft Office document Co-Authoring experience. This is not possible when running an App.

    Power Apps uses connectors(APIs) and therefore the data needs to be saved to and retrieved from its source to see any changes. 

     

    Using Refresh or Collections are the best way to retrieve data.
