Restoring Deleted Power Apps and Integrated Forms

Applies to Product – Power Apps

What’s happening?
Customers are experiencing difficulties in restoring deleted Power Apps and Integrated PowerApps Forms associated with SharePoint Lists.

Reason:
The underlying cause for the inability to restore deleted Power Apps may include missing necessary modules, incorrect proxy settings, or the deletion of the SharePoint site without a backup, which may prevent the recovery of customized forms.

Resolution:
For Restoring Deleted Power Apps:

1. Ensure that the necessary PowerShell modules are installed. Run the following commands in PowerShell as an administrator: powershell Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell -AllowClobber
2. Authenticate with a user who has admin privileges in the tenant: powershell Add-PowerAppsAccount
3. Check for recoverable Power Apps by running: powershell Get-AdminDeletedPowerAppsList -EnvironmentName 'EnvironmentID' Replace 'EnvironmentID' with the actual Environment ID.
4. If there are recoverable apps, restore the app using: powershell Get-AdminRecoverDeletedPowerApp -AppName 'AppName' -EnvironmentName 'EnvironmentName' Replace 'AppName' and 'EnvironmentName' with the appropriate values.

1. If the SharePoint site was deleted without a backup, it is possible that the customized form cannot be restored. In such cases, it is recommended to create a new customized form from the restored SharePoint list.
2. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the SharePoint support team for further assistance.

1. If encountering errors related to proxy settings, it is suggested to proceed without the proxy. Adjust the proxy settings accordingly and retry the restoration process.

1. After performing the above steps, if issues continue, follow up with the customer to confirm if they were able to install the necessary modules and execute the restore commands successfully.
