Edit screen

This is the first time that we will see how some data types differ when they're generated in PowerApps; for example, the location field is represented in a read-only format whereas the text and more conventional data types are all editable. You will notice that there is not a new screen, and that is because the edit form can serve both new and edit. When editing, the fields will populate with data; otherwise, when in new mode, the fields will be blank:

From here, you now have the grounding of a fully functional app that you can either deploy or start to build upon. All controls, logic, and appearance within the app can be modified and tailored to meet your exact needs.

As well as being able to generate a standalone app, the integration between PowerApps and SharePoint means that I can also use PowerApps to create customized forms for my SharePoint list to replace the out-of-the-box forms.
