Power Apps provides a user-friendly, drag-and-drop interface where users can easily add and arrange elements like buttons, text fields, images, and other controls. This visual approach makes app development accessible to users without any coding experience.

2. Pre-Built Templates

To help users get started quickly, Power Apps offers a variety of pre-built templates for common business scenarios, such as employee onboarding, expense tracking, and customer relationship management. Users can customize these templates to fit their specific needs.

3. Connectors
