Microsoft has expanded its Power Apps low-code development platform, introducing custom pages and app designer capabilities as well as app-sharing and new templates. These features were introduced on May 4.
The custom pages capability uses the Power Apps canvas for the UX and connects to more than 400 data sources, leveraging the Power Fx language for low-code logic. Custom pages can be embedded within model-driven applications, resulting in enterprise apps that combine grids and forms over the Microsoft Dataverse data storage platform.

These unified experiences can be built with a new Modern App Designer tool, to quickly assemble an application backed by Dataverse. Modern App Designer is to be available in public preview this month. With Modern App Designer, declaratively generated grids and forms can be dropped in by selecting a table. Apps can be previewed in the designer.
