Thanks for your Response. Can u please help me in how to customize forms hereafter.

Any other alternative to SharePoint Designer? For Work Flows also we were using SharePoint Designer only. Powerapps does not meet those requirements right? What IDE to use for SharePoint Online Forms?

 

Thanks in Advance

Annamsoft are you now using SharePoint Online in Office 365? If so, then SharePoint designer won't work. For Forms we now have Microsoft Forms for internal or external forms submission. For a SharePoint form you can use a customised Power Apps form instead of the standard SharePoint Form. For workflow we now have Power Automate which links them all up together really well.

    Hi Rob Elliott,
    Thanks for your response, Yes am using SharePoint Online in Office 365. I chose SharePoint designer to prepare classic, customized forms to fit in desktop, while in Power apps its for devices right?.
    I need an IDE which does similar as Sharepoint designer do. Please help!
    Thanks

      Annamsoft  no, Power Apps is for desktop/laptop as well and is how I use it (as well as using it on my smartphone).

       

      Power Automate integrates SharePoint with other apps and, with Power Apps, provides you with the modern IDE.  You really can't use the retired SharePoint Designer now unless you have on-premise SharePoint.

        Thank you so much .

        I have a doubt how to customize forms using power apps for desktop. Because I customized in powerapps and added as an web part in modern page, it works!

        Any links for classic page? I want to open and customize my site forms(aspx) from list.

        I just want NewForm.aspx to be modified as i did in SharePoint designer. Any help.?

        Am using Sharepoint Online. Sample New form is attached

         

         

        Thanks

    I am using a local server.  Microsoft Forms and PowerApps are not options for us.  What is the recommendation for custom forms in my situation?
