Reviewer's verdict

This is a product demo, not a course. Use it to see what Microsoft *wants* Copilot to do, but don't expect to learn how to actually build anything.

Who it's for

Absolute beginners wanting a quick, hands-off demo of Power Apps Copilot.

Who should skip it

Anyone trying to learn how to build or debug a real app.

Pros

  • Latest UI and features shown (as of mid-2025).
  • Very fast to complete, doesn't require any prior setup.
  • Shows what the ideal, error-free Copilot workflow looks like.

Cons

  • The 'exercise' is just pasting prompts and watching it work; no building.
  • Doesn't explain the underlying Dataverse tables or app structure.
  • You don't get to keep the environment or the generated app to experiment with.
  • Completely breaks down if you deviate from the script even slightly.

This module hinges on a pre-provisioned Dataverse environment that vanishes after you're done. I finished, refreshed the tab to go back and check something in the generated app, and my entire sandbox was gone. All I had left were my screenshots. It's like they built a Potemkin village for a 30-minute tour and then burned it down.

The exercise itself is just copy-pasting a sequence of prompts. Copilot adds a screen. Copilot adds a gallery. Copilot connects the data. My contribution was hitting Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. There's zero debugging, zero explanation of why the data table is structured a certain way, and zero opportunity to go off-script. I tried changing one of the prompts slightly, just to see what would happen, and the whole thing errored out. Since I couldn't access the backend or see the actual app components, I had no way to fix it other than restarting the module.

I get the point is to show off the magic, but it felt less like learning and more like watching a recorded video with extra steps. I spent more time trying to figure out where my temporary environment went than I did in the actual 'build' process. It's a quick look at the interface, but that's all it is.
