In this chapter, we reviewed how to administer some of the smaller Office 365 products: PowerApps, Flow, Stream, and Forms.

PowerApps and Flow have separate administration centers, but those administration centers operate identically. PowerApps and Flow work together tightly and are much more useful with each other, so while it's possible to have a license for one and not the other, we expect that in the future Microsoft might integrate the products to a greater degree and allow them to be administrated as a single product.
