Power Apps "Save" icon spinning

Posted on by seangorm

Hello,

My powerapps "save" icon sometimes gets "stuck" on "spinning" mode, - the icon / button is not responsive in this mode which means I cannot save or publish.

Why does this happen? Is there any way to stop it happening so that I can save and publish.

I do not want to have to take the "back to sharepoint" option as I will lose all my work since the last save.

Thanks for any advice

Hi @seangorm ,

One thing you can do is enable autosave, though when you do this and it gets "stuck" exit by closing the tab. Other than that, it may be an internet connection issue.

@seangorm ,

It is not something I have experienced. As I mentioned however if you have autosave enabled, you can close the browser window and you will have the app saved at the last autosave.

Happened to me twice today and it's causing me to lose work. I have auto-save enabled. My internet connection is fine.
This is not the first case of something in PowerApps suddenly becoming unusable and that can only be fixed by reloading the page. For example, I've had errors in formulas that should have gone away after I corrected them but only went away when I refreshed the page. And there was one time it hung with "Please Wait" just because I asked to add a text input to my canvas

I faced the issue many times, wasting a lot of working hours. Very frustrating. There is a problem with cloud and sessions, if you move away a couple of minutes with the session open, at one point the app loses the connectivity with the cloud and can't commit changes.

Addition: This happening again today 3/6/25 all day, autosave enabled, constantly working in the app, trying to manually save ... so unreliable platfom became, additional time and energy spent ... thinking to move away after over 100 apps developed in the past 7 years ...

This happened to me 4 times today, lost HOURS worth of work. What is the solution to this? This is a terrible environment to work in. I'm almost paranoid when working on any of my apps at this point. I panic when I get lost in focusing on my work and I realize that I forgot to save every 2 minutes to make sure what I did is going to stick.
