Updating Library Component in Power Apps

Updating library components in Power Apps is essential for maintaining and enhancing application performance. This process involves implementing the latest features, fixing bugs, and ensuring compatibility with other components.

I have written the steps for creating a Library component in one of my Articles. Let's have a look to update the component now.

Steps to Update a Library Component

Step 1. Open the Library Component.

• Go to Power Apps Studio.
• Open the app that contains the library component you want to update.

Step 2. Edit the Component.

• Navigate to the Components section.
• Select the library component you want to modify.
• Make the necessary changes e.g. I have changed the Header component color and image.
  

Step 3. Save and Publish.

• Once the changes are made, save the library component.
• Click Publish to ensure the updated component is available for other apps.
  

Step 4. Notify Other Apps.

• When the library component is updated, apps using the older version will show a notification about the new update.
• Open each app using the component, and apply the update to get the latest version of the component.

Step 4.1. My app component is like the image below.

Step 5. Test the Updates.

Going to the app where we added the component and checked for the update.

Step 6. Review and Update the component.

Step 7. My component after the update, looks like the below image.
