Developing apps with Power Apps helps the business users solve business problems with easy-to-use tools that don’t require code / less code. In this article I am going to explain how to use a single form control associated with a SharePoint list to add/edit/view items using PowerApps.

I would assume you have the following setup

• SharePoint list

Following are the steps I am going to use to convert my form to support add/edit/view functionalities
