Have you been patiently waiting for coauthoring to be generally available to <em>finally <\/em>start building canvas apps with your teammates? Power Apps is beyond thrilled to officially announce the much-anticipated general availability of Canvas coauthoring! Now, both<strong> <\/strong>the Canvas designer and Modern app designer have coauthoring as a generally available feature. Fusion teams can now work in the same app at the same time, see changes made by other team members while making your own. Building sophisticated apps require teamwork from others\u2019 expertise; with coauthoring being generally available, building Power Apps with your team has never been easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enable-coauthoring-in-canvas\">Enable coauthoring in Canvas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we roll out coauthoring general availability in the Canvas designer, navigate to the Canvas designer for the desired app that you\u2019d like to coauthor in.

It allows multiple users to simultaneously work on the same app, enabling real-time updates and seamless communication via <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-apps\/maker\/canvas-apps\/comments\">commenting<\/a>. Team members can now share ideas, provide instant feedback, and make changes without dividing efforts or consolidate changes from multiple app instances. This not only accelerates the development process, but also enhances creativity and innovation by allowing diverse perspectives to come together in the app authoring journey. The Power Apps team is excited to support this feature as GA to further empower fusion teams to build more efficiently.
