How to create a hidden documentation and debug panel in PowerApps

In this video I demonstrate how to create a hidden panel in PowerApps that is only shown in the PowerApps editor. This is a great trick/hack to use when you want to use controls to display debugging information. It's also very handy for documentation purposes.

This is a really good idea. Will pass this one along to our team here and we will see how to work this in. Been wondering how to comment or document inside the apps and this is a great solution.

Low Code No Code but there is Code and no debugger that is the first thing that should have been built. Its harder than JavaScript (or there would not be a bazillion Posts on Power App Forums how to use it, from people that can code so it fails any intuitive or logic test, further to that VBA and anything like it needed to die 2 decades ago this merely sustains the horror or the night mare) and it can't be debugged so what is being achieved. It would have been better to use what is native in the borwser rather than remove it, hide or obfuscate it, abstract. Also no logging again that is the first thing that should have been built.
