Converting InfoPath to PowerApps

I created a power app that replaces an Infopath form. I can switch to using the powerapp but the issue I am having is there is some links on a couple other SharePoint pages that link to the old InfoP...

Thank you, I did figure that part out finally but I do not know how to change the link on the SharePoint page. I attached a screen shot that outlines what I am trying to update in red. Can you see how I would be able to update the "K360 Request form"?

If it's a click map image or what not, you should be able to click the "View source" button or "Edit web part" then View source, to see the links and update them there in that webpart. If it's referencing an HTML file for the coordinates then you'll have to locate the file for them via SharePoint designer. But, you really need to check the source of that Content web part and go from there since it won't be a built in SharePoint method.

    Actually I think I see what you are saying now. From the web part I can get the following link. This link has 3 links embedded in it. One of them is the one I need to update, but how do I update from here?

      Depends where the file is. If it’s in a library on your site navigate to the library and go edit the file. You might have to use sharepoint design to get to the file if you can’t get to it by trimming / navigating the the URL. Just put in the URL and remove the file name out and see if it will nav to it.

        That is it! So I have 2 scenarios. 

         

        1 - It navigates to a SP list where there is a url I can update. But there is a limit of 255 characters and the link I copied for my new power app is > 255. I am getting the link by going to the SP list for my power app and opening a new request, and copying the link. Is there a way to shorten it or a way to take off the 255 character limit?

         

        2 - It navigates to a SP list with a HTML doc. The doc has code and it seems a little more complicated than copying and pasting the URL. I attached the code I highlighted the part I believe needs to be updated. I doubt you can tell without having access to the SP sites but I attached in case you had some pointers to how I would update this code.

    When I click "edit web part" I see the attached. I have tried all options within the web part and nothing lets me modify the link or even references the link. Looks like the only thing in the web part is the back ground image. I dont see anywhere on the ribbon or web part to click "View Code". If its HTML where would I navigate to see where its pointing?

     

    Could is be the "Page URLs" at the page level on the ribbon? For some reason this is greyed out and I was wondering if it could be an access issue.
