Just a few examples include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modernizing legacy and paper forms<\/strong>.\u00a0Many organizations still have outdated libraries of paper and PDF-based forms and processes and don\u2019t have the resources to effectively modernize and move them to the cloud. Now, these forms can quickly and easily be converted into digitized solutions by those closest to the business process, and not just with a pre-built UI, but with a pre-built data schema on an integrated data platform. This will not only save time, free up developers to focus on strategic work, and reduce manual errors, but it will also accelerate the organization\u2019s move to the cloud, ensuring this data is secure and can be used to unlock additional insights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Generating apps from sketches and wireframes<\/strong>.\u00a0It has never been quicker or easier to go from idea to app. From whiteboard ideation sessions to PowerPoint brainstorms to a hand-drawn sketch, just capture an image of your idea and see it quickly brought to life in Power Apps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accelerating professional design and development<\/strong>.\u00a0We\u2019re particularly excited about our integration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.figma.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Figma<\/a>, the collaborative design platform, where so much software is designed today. It can be challenging and time-consuming for developers to replicate the UX that designers have already created in the design tool. Now with express design, designers can create designs using the<a href=\"https:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?linkid=2193981\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Power Apps Figma UI Kit<\/a> and developers can convert that design to a functional app in moments, significantly speeding up the design to the development process, as well as eliminating multiple feedback loops. Figma to app bridges the gap between designers and developers to deliver an optimal experience for the end-users, saving significant time as well as providing more control over the end-to-end build experience. <a href=\"https:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?linkid=2193958\">Learn more about\u00a0administering Microsoft Power Platform.\u00a0<\/a><br \/>\n\n<div style=\"display: none;\" class=\"wp-block-msxcm-deprecated-red-tiger\">\n\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Power Apps continues to advance AI-assisted low-code app development<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike other design-to-code tools, express design provides a major step forward by generating a true low-code app that any maker can easily customize, extend, and connect to hundreds of pre-built and custom data connectors.
