Creating a solution

Solutions provide the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) capability for Power Apps and Power Automate. Solutions let you bundle related flows (and apps) within a single deployable unit and migrate them from one environment to another.

An environment is a place to store, manage, and share your organization's business data, Power Apps, and flows. They also act as secure spaces to separate apps that may have different roles, security requirements, or target audiences.

The following are some scenarios where you could consider different environments:

  • Creating separate environments for test and production versions of your apps
  • Isolating the apps and flows to specific teams or departments in your company
  • Creating separate environments for different global branches of your company

Creating and managing environments for Power Platform is beyond the scope of this book. You can read more about creating environments for Power Platform at https://m365book.page.link/environments...
