Canvas Apps: Get more component has moved

A few months had passed since I last developed a Canvas App and Components, and I had trouble adding custom components. All because Microsoft had updated the UI without their annoying prompts or tips.

The Solution

The ‘Get more components‘ button has moved and has become a small icon near the top of the Insert menu, below the Search and Filter tools.

Based on memory, the rest of the process has stayed the same.

GitHub Sample

The sandpit consists of two solutions that demonstrate how to reuse components in a Canvas App:

Sandpit: Shared Assets – contains the shared Component Library.
Sandpit: Canvas App – contains a Canvas app to test the process of sharing a Component Library within an environment.
