Canvas apps are often underestimated. You might think that they are just slow and ugly mobile applications built on top of SharePoint. But no. They offer much more. If you are building low-code solutions with Power Platform, mastering the canvas app is one of the most important skills for you.

Why?

Canvas apps seamlessly integrate across the Power Platform ecosystem. You can enrich model-driven apps with them in many ways. You can also use them with Power BI reports. If you are working with SharePoint, you can extend SharePoint with canvas apps as well! Usually, all this has been done with custom development. But not anymore.

In this session, I walk through different ways you can extend your solutions with canvas app.

While canvas Power Apps serve as a powerful tool, it's not a solution for everything. So when you shouldn't use it? This question is also addressed in this presentation.

In today's software landscape, user experiences are held to high standards. The use of applications should be intuitive, efficient, and straightforward. Power Apps model-driven application offers a highly effective way to create interfaces on top of Dataverse data model, leveraging its application framework, views, and forms. However, as the interface creation process is swift, it's easy to overlook the end-user experience, which can result in a confusing outcome for the user. User interface design capabilities of a model-driven application are limited to predefined components and logic, making certain tasks unnecessarily complex and time-consuming.

By utilizing custom pages within the model-driven interface, you can break free from these constraints and create modern user experiences and processes that are logical and easy for users to navigate. Combining the efficiency of the model-driven application framework with the agility of Canvas app user experiences, you can achieve outstanding results. Join this session to learn different ways you can leverage custom pages in your interface design.

Key takeaways
- Understand what to consider for user experience when customizing model-driven interfaces
- Learn different methods to utilize custom page capabilities as part of model-driven applications to achieve more
- Consider the possibilities of custom pages when building your next model-driven application

One of the biggest concerns of any organization thinking on deploying Copilot for Microsoft 365 is to ensure data stored in SharePoint is being accessed by the right people with the right permissions. Until not a long time ago, the lack of governance tools and controls made almost impossible for SharePoint Admins to properly address those concerns. Fortunately for us, with SAM (SharePoint Advanced Management) in SharePoint Premium we have a set of out the box governance controls (with the required licensing in place) intended to help on manage and govern SharePoint and OneDrive as well as enhance secure collaboration so we can be ready (at least in theory) for a safe arrival of Copilot. In this session we will review current governance features in SharePoint Premium that will boost your work as a SharePoint Admin.
