The post Introducing inline actions appeared first on Microsoft Power Platform Blog.

]]> We are pleased to introduce inline actions for Power Apps canvas apps – a new way to perform the most common authoring tasks directly inline on the canvas. Previously in order to do things like change the layout of a screen or connect a form or gallery to data, you had to know where to make these updates: either from the command bar, properties panes, or formula bar. Now we bring these common updates to the controls themselves in the inline action bar – reducing both cognitive load and mouse travel! Even more, you can engage your peers and leverage the power of Copilot for help directly from the new inline action bar as well.

This is our first step in bringing rich tools for quick completion of tasks right to your fingertips on the canvas. We have even greater ways for Copilot to accelerate your app creation coming soon to this space- stay tuned!

Learn more about inline actions here. Let us know what you think, happy app making!

Create, edit, and refresh flows directly inline with the canvas app authoring experience.

]]> We’re excited to announce that we’re making it even easier to add and work with Power Automate flows in your canvas apps without ever leaving the studio! The new Power Automate pane brings the ability to add flows to the left-pane, in the same way you add other resources like data and media to your canvas app. When you click the Power Automate button, a new pane appears allowing you to see flows already included in in your app or add existing flows.

You can also create new flows; selecting “Create new flow” now opens a new experience where you can choose from Power Apps based flow templates or start from blank.

After choosing the type of flow you’d like to create, you can build it directly within the canvas studio.

Once you finish, your newly created flow is added to your app. You can even edit your flow and upon saving your flows will refresh and pull those changes into your app, all without leaving the context of the canvas app you were working on!
