Power Docu

Intro

Want to document a Power Apps Solution?

Power Docu provides a easy way of doing it by documenting Flows, Canvas Apps and other Power Apps solution components in the form of a Word Document or in a markdown format (GitHub or Azure Devops style) by using an self contained Windows Gui application.

All info over this link here: https://github.com/modery/PowerDocu

How it Works

Power Docu support the generation of documentation for Power Apps based on a local solution .zip or on a .msapp file.

The documentation contains information about :

  • Power Automate Flows
    • General information
    • Connectors
    • Trigger
    • Actions
    • Flow Actions
    • Flow diagram (simple and detailed)
    • Simple Flow Diagram
    • Detailed Flow Diagram
  • Canvas Apps
    • General information
    • Global variables
    • Canvas Variables
    • Data sources
    • Resources
    • Controls
    • Canvas Controls
    • Screens overview
  • Solution components
    • Dataverse Tables
      • Columns
      • Relationships

Tables

  • Security Roles

  • Solution Dependencies

By the way Model Driven-Apps aren't yet support in the current version 2.0 !

App

  • Select the outputs

Outputs

  • Select the Canvas App documentation level

Canvas Options

  • Click "Next" and select a solution export file on a .zip or on a .msapp file format

Open Solution

  • Your Documentation is ready on the same folder as you solution file!

Final thoughts

Power Docu it's a very interesting App to easily generate standard Documentation for you Power Apps solution.

In my perspective just missing the Model-Driven Apps module that I would really use and just noticed that it's on the project Roadmap !

The code is open source so teams can fork and build their own generation model.
