The spreadsheet is becoming the system
Rows get overwritten, nobody knows which version is current, and each new request creates another workaround. You want a proper app, but Power Apps still feels like a blank canvas.
Three practical Power Apps builds
Build a Working Power App, Then Create Components You Can Reuse
Publish a SharePoint-connected clock-in app, build a multi-screen records app, and finish with a reusable header, side navigation and color picker.

Read the reviewsDoes this sound familiar?
The work breaks in predictable places.
Maybe the shared spreadsheet is becoming the system. Or perhaps your first Power App works until someone else uses it: navigation breaks, forms misbehave, and every screen needs the same fix. The problem is no longer finding another tutorial. It is knowing what to build next, in the right order.
Your first app works - until someone else uses it
Navigation breaks, forms do not save properly, or a gallery shows the wrong person’s records. You can build the pieces, but they are not yet working together as one reliable app.
One small UI change means editing every screen
Headers, menus and buttons have been copied across several screens. A color or label change becomes repetitive work, and the screens slowly drift apart.
This is not
This is not for experienced Power Apps developers who already work comfortably with component libraries. It is also not done-for-you app development, tenant setup or bespoke consulting. You will build alongside the lessons in your own Microsoft 365 environment.
What done looks like
Finish with work you can use.
Start here
Finish JumpStart with a published canvas app that creates and updates SharePoint list records and is ready to share with a colleague.
Complete when
Finish with three working outputs: a published SharePoint-connected clock-in app, a multi-screen clock-in and records app, and a component library containing a configurable header, side navigation and color picker.
- Build and publish a working canvas app that creates and updates SharePoint list records.
- Create a multi-screen clock-in and records app with a form, a current-user gallery, consistent navigation and a reusable header.
- Build configurable header, side-navigation and color-picker components in a component library.
How you get there
Power Apps Success Path
JumpStart gets live SharePoint data moving through a practical clock-in app. StepUp adds a multi-screen records app with forms, a filtered gallery, consistent navigation and a reusable header. PathFinder turns repeated interface patterns into configurable components and a component library.
Every required step names the result to produce, the completion check and the lesson runtime. Protected material opens when access is confirmed, without exposing it on the sales page.

Publish a SharePoint-connected clock-in app
Build a practical clock-in canvas app against a Microsoft List. You will create and update records with Patch, add time and break logic, then publish and share the app with the right data permissions.
- You will finish
- Build and publish a working canvas app that creates and updates SharePoint list records.
- Done when
- A test user with the correct app and list permissions can create a clock-in record, update it by clocking out and reopen the app successfully.

Build a multi-screen clock-in and records app
Build a multi-screen clock-in and records app around one Microsoft List, with a submission form, user defaults, a filtered and sorted records gallery, consistent navigation and a reusable header component.
- You will finish
- Create a multi-screen clock-in and records app with a form, a current-user gallery, consistent navigation and a reusable header.
- Done when
- The form submits to the Microsoft List, the signed-in user sees only their records, navigation works across every screen and the reusable header renders correctly.

Publish a reusable component library
Turn repeated interface patterns into configurable components. Build a header, side navigation and color picker, then publish them in a component library for controlled reuse across apps.
- You will finish
- Build configurable header, side-navigation and color-picker components in a component library.
- Done when
- All three components can be imported into a test app, their custom properties work and a published library change appears for review and update in the consuming app.

A simple boundary: your work stays saved; protected steps need Space access after the Learning Pass ends.
Your progress, private notes and saved work remain after your 30-day Learning Pass. Choose a plan or own the required Space to keep protected steps available.
Before you decide
Straight answers to the buying questions.
What happens after the 30-day Learning Pass?
Your progress, private notes and saved work remain on your account. Full access to protected content in Power Apps Builders lasts for the period you choose; afterwards, protected steps require an active plan, permanent Space ownership or Team access.
When does the Learning Pass start?
Your 30-day Learning Pass starts when payment is confirmed, not when you first open a lesson or Board item.
What if I already have this Board or its Spaces?
The page checks your account and Team access before checkout. It keeps your existing Board and progress, avoids duplicate charges, and shows the right ongoing option if the one-off offer no longer applies.
Why not just ask AI?
AI can answer individual questions. This Board adds the chosen sequence, named outputs, progress tracking and related Space material for the context and edge cases you would otherwise have to assemble yourself.
How much work should I expect?
The current estimate is 3 hours 39 minutes, completed at your own pace over 3 focused sessions or 2-3 weeks. The complete learning path is visible on this page before you start.
Will Collab365 do the work for me?
No. The Board gives you a practical learning path and supporting material, but you still make the decisions and do the work. It is a product, not a done-for-you consulting service.
Do I need coding experience?
No. JumpStart begins with the Power Apps Studio interface and teaches the low-code formulas as you build. StepUp and PathFinder then build on those foundations, taking the same route from beginner to intermediate.
What will I actually build?
You will work towards three practical outputs: a published SharePoint-connected clock-in app, a multi-screen clock-in and records app, and configurable header, side-navigation and color-picker components organised in a component library.
What Microsoft access do I need?
You need a work or school Microsoft 365 account with Power Apps enabled and permission to create a SharePoint or Microsoft List. Your organisation’s licensing and administrator policies still apply.
How much time should I allow?
The three courses contain 48 lessons with 3 hours 39 minutes of lesson runtime. Allow additional time to pause, build and test in your own environment. You can complete them in three focused build sessions or spread them over two to three weeks.
Is this suitable if I have already built a basic app?
Yes. JumpStart can refresh the foundations. StepUp is designed for makers who can already connect a data source and use a basic gallery or form. PathFinder then moves into reusable components and component libraries.
Will Collab365 build the app for me?
No. This is a guided, self-paced build path. It does not include bespoke app development, tenant configuration or consulting. You follow the lessons and build the apps in your own Microsoft 365 environment.
How can I access the Board?
The page checks the access already on your account and shows the available route, such as existing access, a qualifying individual or Team plan, or a one-off Board option where configured.
What happens when time-limited Space access ends?
Your copy of the Board and its saved progress remain. Protected Power Apps Builders lessons require active Space access after a time-limited pass ends.
