Mobile offline for canvas apps
If users of your Dataverse-based canvas app have spotty or no Internet access, you can easily provide offline-first access with simple switches and a canvas control. Basic offline-first apps are easy to make. Just build your app with normal Power Fx formulas, and Power Apps offline features handle everything else.
The offline-first feature works with Dataverse tables only and doesn't support the following Power Fx functions:Min/Max/AvgRelateUnrelateIn (Membership)UpdateIfRemoveIf
Filter on column lookup only supports one level of lookup when the app is enabled for offline.
Many to many relationships are not supported.
Why use offline for canvas apps instead of LoadData/SaveData?
