Hey everyone! If you want to speed up your PowerApps workflow and boost performance, here are two proven tips that can make a huge difference: ✅ 1. Creating PDFs - Instead of complex workarounds, use the HTML Text Control with the PDF() Function. It’s lightweight and efficient for generating PDFs. This method is 10x faster than using PDF() Function with containers ✅ 2. Saving a Collection of Data - Avoid using ForAll() for bulk updates—it’s slow and resource-heavy. Instead, go for Direct Patch() for faster and smoother data operations. ==>> Patch(Datasource, myCollection) You can get this to work by first saving the schema of the datasource into the collection by using this formula here: ClearCollect(myCollection, Filter(DataSource, false)); Update your collection with entries then patch back to the datasource.. it works 10x faster than using the ForAll() 🏁🏁These methods have been tested and deliver noticeable improvements. Try them out and let me know your results! 💡

I have recently been reminded of the ability to add custom pages to model-driven apps. Has anyone built out an app that uses both types of pages, built-in model driven and custom pages? There are challenges like navigating between pages and hiding unwanted UI controls, but the idea of building these hybrid apps gets me excited as the performance will be great and it can scale so much easier than a monolithic canvas app. From ChatGPT below on the Pros for this approach: Model-Driven + Custom Pages Pros Data model & security first. You get Dataverse native forms, views, business rules, auditing, and role/row security without rebuilding that logic in Canvas. ALM & scale. Solution layering, environment variables, connection references, and easier enterprise governance (managed solutions, layering, solution-aware components). Coauthoring & componentization. Custom Pages are separate artifacts—teams can work in parallel; forms/views/command bars remain modular. Performance on data-heavy scenarios. Model-driven grids, views, and server-side paging/delegation are optimized for large datasets out of the box. Navigation & “page routing.” You can direct users across app areas (forms, views, dashboards, custom pages), enabling wizard-style flows while still keeping standard MDA navigation. Consistency & accessibility. MDA shell provides a11y, keyboard nav, theming, and responsive scaffolding with less custom work. Low-code extensibility. Use PCF controls, command bar buttons, BPFs, and business rules alongside Custom Pages for richer UX where needed.
