Coauthoring in Microsoft Power Apps

Microsoft released much awaiting live coauthoring feature to Power Apps. Its a major change as traditionally one maker has to wait until other maker is completed with the changes. 

We had to leverage Azure DevOps or Github using source control to allow parallel development but coauthoring was not supported by default in Power Apps.

With coauthoring enabled, by default, multiple users can simultaneously edit a canvas and fasten the app development life cycle. We can see what changes other makers are making within the app.

Enable Coauthoring setting by navigating to: Power App -> Settings -> Updates -> Preview -> turn on Coauthoring


Currently, There are still a few limitations. Microsoft may overcome these limitations by this feature is generally available.
