Migrating PowerApps to new SharePoint Site?

[simms7400]

Hi Folks -

I have a SharePoint Site that contains all my SharePoint Lists which my PowerApps Application uses. It's unfortunately on "Classic" and the company is making me move everything to the new site. I have a SharePoint migration utility but my question is, what's the easiest way to reconnect my PowerApps to the lists on the new site? Anything I should be aware of? I'm nervous when I try to connect them I'll lose all my formatting and customization.

Thanks!

In my experience so long as the lists have the same name on the new site you can simply delete the connections and re-add them pointing to the new site.  After you do this everything should work as it was before.

If you are nervous, make a copy of the SharePoint list to the new place, upload a copy of your app and give it a try before deleting anything on the old site.

In addition to the points mentioned by @mdevaney , I would like to share few more points:

1. Make sure your list schema is as same as the old list - list columns internal and display names should match

2. Also, create Index columns on various SharePoint list fields which you are using for Filter and Query usage. This will improve performance.

3. All the list views are created as well. If you have any flows which dependent on any specific view, they will not break but you have to remap them.
