With the April 2020 preview release of the Unified Interface for model-driven apps in PowerApps we have updated to always show the save option in the default out of box experience when editing a form. With the previous release, the save in the command bar would be hidden when the auto-save option is enabled and was only available in the footer of the form.<\/p>\n

With this change the save is not hidden and will show in the command bar and in the footer of the form with auto-save on or off, reducing confusion as users move from creating new records to editing records in model driven apps.<\/p>\n
