Duplicate a Power Apps solution

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 691

Hello,

I have a Power Apps solution on my environment that I would like to duplicate so that I can have it in duplicate on my environment. This way, I can modify one without impacting the other. But I can't duplicate the solution. I tried the import/export option but it overwhelms the old solution.

Can you help me please ? thanks in advance.

    You can do this by utilizing the Clone feature. When you click on the 3 dots after your solution name you see the Clone option Button,

    Hi,

    1. Open Power Apps: Go to make.powerapps.com.

    2. Find your App: Navigate to the 'Apps' section and locate the app you want to duplicate.

    3. Save As: Click on the ellipsis (...) next to your app, then select 'Save As'.

    4. Set Name: Provide a new name for the duplicate app.

    5. Save: Click the 'Save' button to create a copy.

    6. Edit (if needed): Open the duplicated app to make any necessary edits.

    7. Publish: After editing, publish the duplicated app to make it available for use.
      let me know if you need any help

    Hello, I have not "Save As" 😞

    The problem with this option is that all the modifications I make to the clone also impact the first version of the solution. 😞

    Hi,

    Then you can try exporting the powerapp and importing it again with different name.
    follow this guide to export and import https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/export-import-app

    • When I export my solution, even changing the name, it overwrites my previous solution. ,😭

    Hi,

    while export you have to select "Create as New" Instead of "Update"

    make sure to select create as new instead of update

    @PowerStudent @gcmfaizan 

    What he says doesn't work because the problem is that all the modifications I make to the clone also impact the first version of the solution.
