Overview of canvas components and component libraries

When developing applications in Power Apps, app makers use various controls for application building blocks. In order to avoid repetition and to build reusable parts of the application that can be used across the same application or across multiple apps, app makers should look to canvas components. This section introduces a canvas component together with a component library and will help you understand their differences and how they fit into the ALM process.

Canvas components serve as individual modular building blocks that encapsulate specific functionality or elements of the user interface. Canvas components are reusable across Power Apps canvas apps and model-driven apps. Not only do these components play a crucial role in creating larger and more complex enterprise-grade applications, but they are also significant when it comes to working in a larger team in a co-development environment, as developers...
