Duplicate a Power Apps solution

Hello,

I have a Power Apps solution on my environment that I would like to duplicate so that I can have it in duplicate on my environment. This way, I can modify one without impacting the other. But I can't duplicate the solution. I tried the import/export option but it overwhelms the old solution.

Can you help me please ? thanks in advance.

@s44 if you want the copies of every component of the solution in the same environment you cannot create two tables with the same logical name within the same environment. Each table in the  Dataverse, which is used as the data source for Power Apps, must have a unique logical name within the environment.

So if you don't have any concerns with table names, then just create a copy of the Canvas App and start working on that app. It would be easy, 

Otherwise, create a new environment, import the solution here, and use XRMtool to import the data from the previous environment to the new environment.

You can do this by utilizing the Clone feature. When you click on the 3 dots after your solution name you see the Clone option Button,

Hi,

  1. Open Power Apps: Go to make.powerapps.com.

  2. Find your App: Navigate to the 'Apps' section and locate the app you want to duplicate.

  3. Save As: Click on the ellipsis (...) next to your app, then select 'Save As'.

  4. Set Name: Provide a new name for the duplicate app.

  5. Save: Click the 'Save' button to create a copy.

  6. Edit (if needed): Open the duplicated app to make any necessary edits.

  7. Publish: After editing, publish the duplicated app to make it available for use.

Hello, I have not "Save As" 😞 

The problem with this option is that all the modifications I make to the clone also impact the first version of the solution. 😞

Hi,

Then you can try exporting the powerapp and importing it again with different name.
follow this guide to export and import https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/export-import-app

  • When I export my solution, even changing the name, it overwrites my previous solution. ,😭

Hi,

while export you have to select "Create as New" Instead of "Update"

make sure to select create as new instead of update
