A little guidance. A lot of possibility.

Your next idea starts here.

You don't have to start from a blank canvas. Find a sample, understand how it works, and make it your own.

Find your starting point.
Choose a product or a scenario that sparks an idea. Open the sample to see screenshots, authors, and the complete setup guide.
Check the essentials.
Read prerequisites, licensing, required connectors, permissions, and environment requirements. Premium services can have separate costs.
Try it. Then make it yours.
Follow the sample README to import its solution or build from source. Use a development environment and verify connections before running it.

Choose the path that fits

From sample to solution.

Import a solution

When the sample includes a solution ZIP, download it and follow its import instructions. Review connection references, environment variables, and required data before using the app or flow.

Understand solution imports

Work with the source

Clone or download a sample to explore the implementation. Power Platform CLI can pack unpacked solutions. Components and other sample types may use different build tools; follow their own README.

Explore Power Platform CLI

Build your understanding

Use official documentation alongside community examples. Start small, inspect what the sample changes, and keep secrets and production data out of shared solutions.

Power Platform documentation

Make room to experiment

A safe place to learn.

Use an appropriate development or test environment. Importing a sample doesn't replace your organization's security, data loss prevention, licensing, or application lifecycle policies.

Explore the developer plan

Good to know

Every sample is different.

The sample README is the authoritative guide. Not all samples have a solution ZIP, use Dataverse, or need the same Power Platform products. Community samples are provided as is, not as supported production products.
