Power Apps adds SharePoint lists to new app builder
Microsoft says the new Power Apps multi-agent experience can use existing SharePoint lists as primary data sources. The feature is listed for public preview from April 24, 2026 and the source page was last updated on May 21, 2026. Makers select a SharePoint site and list, then use the SharePoint connector to create, read, update, and delete list items from the app.
For many non-developer Power Apps builders, SharePoint lists are still the place where the real team data lives. Until the new app-building experience handled those lists directly, makers had a gap between Microsoft's newer AI-assisted app path and the simple data source their team already understood. This update lowers the starting friction, but it does not remove the old SharePoint-backed app risks. Permissions, column changes, delegation warnings, and list design still decide whether the app survives real use after the first demo.
Analysis
Try the new experience with one existing SharePoint list, then rename or add a test column and refresh the app connection. Check whether your forms, galleries, filters, and Patch formulas still behave before you rebuild a live team app this way.
