Power apps restoration doesn't work

Hi,

When trying to restore a power app from a previous point, I'm getting the following issue: "Restore failed. ‘Test app’ is locked by <null> (null)."
I've tried to read other issues, but all the other ones mention a specific user. Mine doesn't. I'm sure that the app is not being used by anyone..

Any ideas?

Hi DC-26121051-0,

Verify App Status: Go to the Power Apps Maker Portal (https://make.powerapps.com). Navigate to Apps > Details of the app. Check if the app is in a "Checked Out" or locked state. If it's locked: Attempt to Check In the app from the app details page.

Force Unlock Using PowerShell

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell -AllowClobber

Add-PowerAppsAccount
Get-AdminPowerApp -EnvironmentName <EnvironmentName>

Unlock-AdminPowerApp -AppName "<AppName>" -EnvironmentName "<EnvironmentName>"

I see this a lot. It mirrors the "Override" issue where it prompts you to close your other non-existing tab. This one is easy:

1. Edit your app in a new tab

2. It should prompt you to "Override" the session. Click on that

3. IMPORTANT PART: Click "Back" in the top left, then click "Leave" when prompted.

Now it should let you restore.

Hope this helps!

@CU13051910-0 Hi I'm having this issue too and I don't get an Override session option when I click to edit in a new tab. Do you have any other possible suggestions?
