As mentioned below, we can't check in. Looking at your other video, it looks as though we have a similar issue to other users where we need to amend the app's code because of our Sharepoint set up (display name vs username).
However, not being an expert on Power Apps, i don't know where to change your code. If you could provide guidance on where to make these changes, that would be tremendously helpful, as i think this app would help us a great deal.

Will this work if you have major and minor version settings turned on in Sharepoint? If so, would you be given the choice of the type of check in?

8:08 this step doesn't work anymore, any tips?

Hello, thank you for your video! However, could you help me with one question, please (in case, you've experienced it, too)?

I successfully connected my SharePoint folder with the App and was able to see my reports in the "Check Reports out". But when I chose the report to check out and click "Check out", it loads forever with the error "Connection not configured for this service ". Could you tell me, please, why it is happening or how to resolve it?

Thank you very much in advance!

Testing the app, I've got a problem. I can see the screen shows the report as checked out, but don't see a file in the checked out folder. I used the setup script provided. Any thoughts?

Nice ! Is it possible to have multiple folder, like one Finance Report, one Production Report with each of them having Published and In Progress Reports ?

The "Initial Step: Create Power BI Reports Library with Folders" runs infinitely. I decided to repeat every step in the video once again. I forgot to delete on Sharepoint "Power BI Reports" folder automatically created by the Flow. I think this is what causes it to run infinitely when you execute it one more time. It would be nice if you could fix it in the future.

Followed the config, but when i preview i don't see the Checked Out reports on the Check out screen. All connections are ok and the Settings page shows no errors. Any ideas?

I am able to check reports out but no reports showing up in check in reports, what could be wrong here?

Hey guys. My company has been using the Version Control App, but it has recently stopped working and I was wondering if this is happening for anyone else. Any help would be appreciated!

Manged to fix the issue with not being able to check in.
1. Go to the Tree View-> Screens -> Check in Files Screen. Select component "tglCheckIn".
2. Go to Properties tab->Advanced-> DisplayMode.
3. Change DisplayMode property to following - If(ThisItem.'Checked Out To'.DisplayName=User().FullName, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)

I found the error in the code that is preventing from items that are checked out to populate on the "check in" screen. You have to navigate to the power app then to the "Check In Files Screen" section of the app. You want to click on the "GalleryCheckInReports" piece of the pages. Making sure you are in the "Items" drop down, you should see an IF statement. On the second line of the IF statement, an exclamation point is missing prior to filterGallery function. It should look as follows:
If(
!filterGallery,
Filter(
btnDataSource.AllItems,
'Folder path' = CheckedOutFolderName.Text &"/" && txtSearchIn.Text in 'File name with extension',
Right(
'File name with extension',
5
) = ".pbix" || Right(
'File name with extension',
4
) = ".pbit"
)
