Can we move/copy a customized list forms (using power app) from one tenant to another

Question

I have a communication SharePoint online site collection inside tenantA, the site collection has 3 power-apps which were used to customize its list forms. now i used those 2 commands to re-create the site inside tenantB Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate & Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate, but this process will not move the customized forms. so my question is, if there a a way to move/copy the customized list forms (using power app) from one tenant to another ?

Answer 1

You can migrate SharePoint lists along with the associated Power App-customized forms using Flows and Power Apps Migrator.

Download the latest release and run the Migrate-Packages.bat batch file. Then follow the instructions on the screen. You can even migrate multiple lists at the same time.

Full disclosure: I wrote this tool, but it's completely free. It used PowerShell PnP under the hood to connect to SharePoint Online sites.

Answer 2

Yes, we can do this using the export and import of the powerapps package. We need to follow the below steps to do that:

1. Export the app from the source environment
2. Import the app into the target environment

Export Process

Step 1:

Open the PowerApps form in the browser. Go to the Apps tab. Right-click on the Application which you want to move. You will get the context menu Click on the “Export-Package“.

Step 2:

In the Export package page enter the Name and Description and click on Export.

Step 3:

Now we will get our PowerApps form in our local system.

Import Process:

Step 1:

Open the new tenant in the browser. Go the Apps tab. Click on the “Import-Package” from the top.

Step 2:

Click on the “Upload” in the Import-Package.

Step 3:

Select on the Zip file from the local system which you want to import.

Step 4:

Click on the Update. In the Setup option click on the “Create as new” option.

Step 5:

Click on save. When we have clicked on the Create as new the save button will be enabled.

Step 6:

Click on the Import in the Review Package Content Page.

Step 7:

We will get our imported App in the Apps tab.
