Hello there!
I am learning on how to better use Power Pages and don't know the clear distinctions between Power Apps and Power Pages quite yet. I am using Power Pages and would like to render a dynamic success message based on what the user submits on their form.
I was wondering if I could get some feedback on how to approach this issue.
Thank you for your kindness and help!

In the backend there isn't really a clear distinction at the moment, it still creates and uses Web Pages, Basic Forms, Table Permissions etc etc. However, the Page designer is different, and most of its Liquid content is put in the Web Page content field (which whilst would work in the Portal would be frowned upon as the expected place for it would be in the Web Template)
The marketing message is that Power Pages is a superset for the Portal, and existing Portal functionality is 100% compatible with Power Pages.
Regarding Dynamic success, you may need to describe a little bit more about what you need. On the Form definition (e.g. Basic Form in the Portal Management App), there are a couple of On Success settings, one allows you to stay on the same page and puts up a success message (there is a down side to this if the user refreshes the page it will attempt to resubmit even if the fields are not visible), you also have the option to Redirect to another Web Page (and optionally pass the id of the record that was submitted, on that next page you can put your own Text a Form to show the values etc etc.)
