Responsive Power Apps screens cut the blank-canvas work
Reviewed by Helen Jones
Reza Dorrani has published a practical walkthrough of the current prebuilt screens in Power Apps canvas apps. The templates use responsive containers and modern controls for common layouts, and the demo connects a screen to SharePoint data before testing it at different sizes.
Many citizen developers still start with a blank canvas, then spend hours aligning controls and repairing layouts that worked in Studio but fail on a phone or a resized browser. Prebuilt screens provide a stronger starting structure for welcome, gallery, form and table experiences. They reduce layout work, but builders still need to connect data deliberately, test each target device and check that customised controls keep their responsive behaviour.
Analysis
Add one prebuilt screen to a copy of an existing canvas app, connect test data, and resize it across phone and desktop widths. Keep it only if your custom changes preserve readable spacing, navigation and form behaviour.
