edit-canvas-app

To edit a Power Apps canvas app, describe the target screen, control, or data source changes. The skill syncs the app state, validates content, applies edits to the pa.yaml configuration, and compiles to ensure safe, validated modifications.

The canvas app modification workflow coordinates five phases: sync, assess, plan, edit, and validate. It evaluates edit complexity to choose between simple tweaks or planner-assisted complex transformations for updating screens and data sources.

Yes, canvas app edits support multi-screen modifications including adding and removing screens, controls, and data sources. Complex transformations utilize a planner-assisted workflow to safely coordinate structural changes across the pa.yaml configuration.

Yes, pa.yaml editing enforces validation before compilation. The workflow syncs the app state, validates meaningful content, and applies structural checks to ensure all screen, control, and data connection changes compile safely.

Complex canvas app transformations use a planner-assisted workflow. After syncing and assessing the app state, the planner phase structures the multi-screen edits before applying changes and validating the updated pa.yaml configuration.

Syncing app state before editing a canvas app ensures the current configuration is accurately loaded. This prevents conflicts during screen, control, or data source modifications and establishes a validated baseline for compiling YAML changes.
