If you're building Power Apps with multiple screens, navigation can quickly become messy and repetitive.
In this video, I’ll show you how to build a reusable navigation component that keeps your app consistent and easy to maintain. Instead of rebuilding buttons on every screen, you’ll create it once and reuse it anywhere.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
• Building a navigation component with buttons
• Creating and using custom properties to control behavior
• Passing values into the component from each screen
• Reusing the same component across your entire app
• Keeping navigation logic centralized and easier to maintain
This is a practical pattern you can use in almost any app, especially when you’re working with multiple screens and want a polished user experience without extra upkeep.
If you’ve been duplicating controls or struggling to keep navigation aligned, this will clean that up right away.
