Create an app from a data source

Another great way to get started is to generate an app from your own data. Simply point Power Apps at the data source of your choice (for example, a list in Microsoft SharePoint or Common Data Service), and watch as Power Apps automatically builds a three-screen app. This three-screen app lets you display, edit, delete, and create records.

Create an app from a data source

A special data source is SharePoint. Modern lists in SharePoint and Power Apps have a tight integration. You can either build an app from within a SharePoint site or you can use Power Apps to customize your modern list forms.
