HOW TO: Use SharePoint Document Libraries In PowerApps

May 22, 2019By Todd Baginski

The Microsoft PowerApps team just released some great new functionality we've all been waiting for - the ability to connect to SharePoint Document Libraries from PowerApps! I immediately took the new features for a spin and recorded a video about it. In the video I demonstrate how to use to SharePoint Document Libraries in PowerApps. The following concepts are shown:

Connecting to the data
Displaying metadata about the document
Displaying thumbnail pictures for the author and the person who last modified the document
Displaying thumbnails of the documents
Launching the documents in separate browser tabs to view and edit them
Playing audio and video files in separate browser tabs and in PowerApps
