Code View is now Generally Available

By Marcel Ferreira

March 3, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that Code View in Power Apps Studio is now generally available! This milestone marks a significant step forward in our mission to enable citizen developers and professional developers to collaborate seamlessly, enabling everyone to build faster.

Key features introduced during the public preview:

Code View: Developers can view the code for each control, making it easier to understand the app’s functionality
Copy and paste: The ability to copy any control within Studio as YAML + Power Fx code and paste it into a code editor for modifications.
Sharing: Makers can use code snippets to share their work using Microsoft Teams, email or forums, facilitating collaboration and reuse.

Based on the user feedback, we have made the improvements bellow.

Simplifying copy and paste

For any control, you have a single Copy button – code is always available if you need it, either if you use the menu or keyboard shortcuts.

You can also now copy and paste screens!

Improved code format

We have made improvements to the code format to improve reliability and to be easier to share.

Because of these improvements, you can source control your Power App, using the Dataverse Source Control Integration.

You can also, combine different screens in a single code snippet – so you can save your own templates to quickly start new apps.

Update your code snippets

These features will be rolling out to all regions through the following weeks.

If you have code snippets from the public preview, no worries, it should work!

We still recommend you update to the new format. Please paste your code snippet to Power Apps Studio, copy again and save the GA version! You can learn more about the schema versions here.
