Overview

This skill handles both creating and editing canvas apps through a unified workflow. It syncs the current app state to detect whether the app has existing content, then routes accordingly. In CREATE mode, a new app is generated from scratch using a preferences wizard and parallel screen builders. In EDIT mode, small changes are applied inline, while substantial changes are planned and executed through a planner and screen builders. Specialist agents such as canvas-app-planner and canvas-screen-builder are used for planned work. The skill coordinates the agents, detects mode, designs and presents the plan for user approval, and owns the compilation and error-fixing loop after all screens are written.

Key features

Q&A

Are there any known limits on the complexity of apps that Canvas App can handle?

The skill works best with standard canvas apps; very complex or highly customized apps may exceed its handling capacity, as it relies on predefined agents and may struggle with deeply custom logic or extensive third‑party components.

Asked by Zain Malik · Jul 15, 2025

What happens when I request a major change to an existing canvas app?

For substantial edits, the skill uses the canvas‑app‑planner and canvas‑screen‑builder agents to draft a detailed plan, presents it for your approval, then executes the plan with parallel screen builders and runs a compile‑and‑error‑fix loop.

Asked by Nils Johansson · Jul 2, 2025

How does Canvas App determine whether to create a new app or edit an existing one?

The skill first syncs the current Power Apps canvas app state; if it detects existing content it switches to EDIT mode, otherwise it initiates CREATE mode and runs the preferences wizard to generate a new app.
