Using Power Apps component libraries

This chapter shows us the advantages of using components when building and maintaining applications. We encapsulate controls that work together for one purpose and then reuse them across our application.

However, if we wanted to use a specific component across several applications, our only resort would be to export this component and import it manually on each application. This process breaks maintainability because each application would have an independent copy of the component. If we update one component, all others remain unchanged. In fact, exporting and importing components is a feature that will be retired shortly.

Power Apps component libraries become a solution to this scenario. They act as an independent library that can hold all the components you want to share across your applications. The best part is that if you update one from the library, the rest of the applications connected to this library will get an update notification...
