Co-authoring is a recently launched feature by Microsoft.
This new feature allows users to manage the information needed for their business operations more efficiently. It is a major announcement for PowerApps developers, as it enables multiple people to work on the same app at the same time without delays.
Microsoft also manages version history for multiple contributors simultaneously. This makes the development process of Canvas apps much smoother for organizations.
Steps to enable Co-authoring
- Goto setting in PowerApps
- Click on updates side navigation and enable Coauthoring
Once the feature is enabled, Co-authoring provides the functionality for multiple users to work on the same app simultaneously. You will see all other developers working on the same app in the top bar. Also, if the app has multiple screens, you can see the changes being made by other users in real time.
Before:
Many organizations faced problems because multiple users couldn’t work on the same Canvas app simultaneously. Only one user was able to make changes at a time, which often led to project delays.
After:
Now, with Coauthoring, multiple developers or users can work on the same app at the same time. Changes are applied live, in real-time, allowing for faster development and improved collaboration.
Benefits of Co-authoring
- Real-time Collaboration
- Increased Productivity
- Faster Delivery
- Team Learning
Conclusion:
The Coauthoring feature in PowerApps helps teams work better together. It lets many people work on the same app at the same time. This means changes happen right away, saving time, avoiding delays, and making it easier and faster to build apps as a team.
