How to publish specific changes in a Live App without publishing all the enhancements made since last publish

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 17

I have an application that's live and I am working on some enhancements on it. However, I have received a list of specific changes to be made to the application. How do I publish these changes without publishing all the enhancements I have made since the last publish?

 

I have considered restoring the published version, making the changes, publishing it again, and continuing to work on the enhancements from the latest version before the new publish. However, this will involve me having to make those specific changes twice, which will be time consuming.

 

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    How to publish specific changes in a Live App without publishing all the enhancements made since last publish
    Hi there,
    I am having your exact same issue and this is the way I've addressed it and it works very well:
    • From Power App I export my application in zip format 
    • Import the app into a new environment as new app
    • Work on the copy of the app. Once finished, export it in zip.
    • Import the app in the original environment. The wizard will allow to select the existing up to do an "Update" instead of creating a copy
     
     
    Hope this will be helpful for people running across this need in the future.

    Hello @VikrantG 

     

    Unfortunately, Power Apps doesn't have a native feature for this yet. The idea that you have thought is the best option for now since you have already done it.

     

    For future reference, it might best that you use a Developer Environment and use the solution method when deploying apps to users in your Production or Default environment. This process involves creating a dedicated space where changes can be made without affecting your Production or Default environment.

     

    A solution in Power Apps is like a container that holds together related components, and it allows for a more streamlined deployment process. This method allows you to create multiple versions of your app, providing a more modular and controlled approach to updates. When you're ready, you can then deploy the version of your choice to the live (Production/Default) environment via Power Apps.

     

    For more details about using solutions in Power Apps, you may refer to Microsoft's official documentation on Create and use solutions.

    Similarly, for understanding how to manage environments in Power Apps, you can review Create and manage environments in the Power Platform admin center.
