Power Apps Exchange

All,

I am working with PowerApps canvas for a few years and used to manually refresh my data sources (i.e. Sharepoint) when I made changes to the Sharepoint list to update my canvas with those changes (such as add a new list column).

I could see my loaded data sources, click on the 3 dots and select Refresh od Remove.

With the new interface layout I am just too blind to find that refresh option. Currently I need to save/close/reload the whole app to get the change reflected in my app.
Can anybody please point me to the location where I can see and update my data sources.

thanks a ton
Stefan

Hi Warren,

thanks for the reply.

Yes, that where its used to be. But that data view of the data is gone for some weeks.

I am wondering if theres a setting or an older authering version that makes the data view show up again.

What's confusing here is, I'm not sure if that refresh action in App 2 just refreshes the list of data sources, or actually does a refresh of each data source themselves, if that makes sense.

Ironically, toggling this On, will restore the data icon in the far-left tree view (see my App 1 screenshot above) - in other words, it fixes something that I think they broke when the new ribbon and UI rolled out (just my opinion).

But as I mentioned, when you turn it On, the entire paragraph and toggle shown above will disappear so you can't turn it back off and you can't easily find it in another app later when you forget where it is. ;)

Hope that helps.
