creator kit - component library not showing

[ValeriaBreve]

Hello,

I have installed the creator kit in my environment (where Power Apps component framework for canvas apps option is enabled and I do have the System Customizer security role).

However, I cannot get the PowerCAT Component library to show. The only thing that shows is the ReferenceApp Library:

I can use the code components in my App, but I am missing those who are part of the Component Library (like the Expand menu).

Do you have any idea why I can't have the PowerCAT Component library installed? I have already tried to reinstall the creator kit in different ways (importing the solution and with the AppSource Install Wizard), but it does not change.

Thanks!

Kind regards

Valeria

If  you navigate to apps on the left handside you should be able to see the creator kit app where you can find the Expand menu

Hello @Mira_Ghaly , yes, UI can see the expand menu in the reference App, however to be able to use it in my own App I need the component which I can't see today in the components list....  (unless there is another way?)

Thanks!

Kind regards

Hello @Mira_Ghaly , thanks, I have used the Expand menu before in other environments.

My issue is I cannot get it in my App. As I can't seem to be able to add the Power CAT Component Library in my environment, I don't get to select it in my App - I don't have what is shown below:

So it circles back to the original problem....the Power CAT Component Library not showing in my environment.

Thanks!

Please follow below if granting permissions is too complicated 

1. Go to solutions

2. Select your solution

3. Add Existing ->More ->Component Library

4. Select the power cat component Library

5.Click Edit

6. Click to add new component and click save as give it a new name and publish this way you will become the owner and you can add it

After this go back to your app and try to import components again it should be there now!

@Mira_Ghaly Hi Mira, yes, I was still trying to figure out how to share 😉

So I did as instructed to create a copy. I do have the copy now visible in the components:

and I did publish it so I am the owner.

However, still not trace of it in my App (which is well in the same environment)  😞

I did wait 5 minutes and refreshed....

Thanks

Kind regards
