The Complete Power Apps Modern Controls Guide

Welcome to the Complete Power Apps Modern Controls Guide

On this page you will find documentation on how to use all 13 of the Power Apps Modern controls. Every modern control property is described to tell you how it works. You’ll also find handy usage tips. Why did I create this guide?

The official documentation for each Power Apps modern control is not finished yet and I wanted a reference right now.

I like documentation with lots of pictures to show what changing control’s properties actually does

As the modern controls library expands I can give my own commentary on proper usage and limitations
