Create or Edit a Canvas App

Create or edit a Power Apps canvas app for:

$ARGUMENTS

Establish the Workspace

Canvas Authoring tools operate on a local directory containing the app YAML.

  1. Reuse the current directory when it already contains App.pa.yaml.
  2. Otherwise, reuse the single immediate child directory containing App.pa.yaml, when exactly one exists.
  3. Otherwise, derive a short kebab-case folder name from the app name or requirements, create it with Bash, and resolve its absolute path.
  4. Call sync_canvas with that absolute working directory before reading or editing app files. Do not proceed if sync fails.

Always use absolute paths for app files. Never edit _EditorState.pa.yaml; Studio owns it.
