Hello everyone... I'm having trouble finding the option to create a model-driven app. In the side menu, when I click on "create" no options appear.
 
Any help is welcome, thank you very much

    Model Driven Apps can only be created from inside a Solution file at this point. You can't create them from the regular Apps menu.  Here's a screenshot from inside a Solution. Build your first modern model-driven app with Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

    @stampcoin Those all lead to different types of Canvas Apps.  The question is about starting a Model Driven App.  A change was made a while back that only allows creation of Model Driven Apps inside a Solution.

    That's strange, I can use 'Start with a page design', 
    I have dataverse version= 9.2.25041.226.....

    @stampcoin I stand corrected.  If you select Dashboard as the page design it does create a Model Driven App. Had never seen that before. Using a Solution is the recommended way in the documentation. I thought I had seen an announcement from the product group when they revised the new App menu that solutions were the only way.
