Zero-Disruption Cleanup: Moving Apps Out of the Default Environment Without Breaking Anything
Ever inherited a messy Default environment and wondered how to “clean it up” without causing outages, angry users, or a flood of support tickets? In this fast-paced, demo-rich session, we’ll walk step by step through a real-world cleanup and migration approach that moves live Power Apps, flows, and dependencies out of the Default environment with minimal disruption—while putting proper guardrails in place so it doesn’t happen again.
You’ll see how solutions, connection references, environment variables, pipelines, and a simple cutover plan come together to:
Discover and triage what’s actually running in Default (and what can be safely retired)
Package and migrate apps and flows into the right environments without breaking connections
Handle gotchas like owners, shared connections, Dataverse vs non-Dataverse assets, and “mystery dependencies”
Cut over safely with validation, rollback options, and a comms plan that keeps the business calm
Prevent relapse using Managed Platform patterns like environment routing, groups/rules, and sharing controls
I’ll share lessons learned, common failure points, and practical techniques you can apply immediately—whether you’re tidying up one business-critical app or trying to tame an entire tenant. You’ll leave with a repeatable playbook to clean the Default environment confidently and keep it clean.
