# Limitations With Power Apps component framework, you can create your own code components to improve the user experience in Power Apps and Power Pages. Even though you can create your own components, there are some limitations that restrict developers implementing some features in the code components. Below are some of the limitations: ## 1. Dataverse Dependent APIs Not Available for Canvas Apps Microsoft Dataverse dependent APIs, including WebAPI, are not available for Power Apps canvas applications yet. For individual API availability, see [Power Apps component framework API reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/component-framework/reference/). ## 2. Bundle External Libraries or Use Platform Libraries Code components should either use [React controls & platform libraries](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/component-framework/react-controls-platform-libraries) or bundle all the code including external library content into the primary code bundle. To see an example of how the Power Apps command line interface can help with bundling your external library content into a component-specific bundle, see [Angular flip component](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/component-framework/sample-controls/angular-flip-control) example. ## 3. Do Not Use HTML Web Storage Objects Code components should not use the HTML web storage objects, like `window.localStorage` and `window.sessionStorage`, to store data. Data stored locally on the user's browser or mobile client is not secure and not guaranteed to be available reliably. ## 4. Custom Auth Not Supported in Canvas Apps Custom auth in code components is not supported in Power Apps canvas applications. Use connectors to get data and take actions instead. ## Related Topics - [Power Apps component framework API reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/component-framework/reference/) - [Power Apps component framework overview](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/component-framework/overview)

Ab Testing
When the user wants to plan, design, or implement an A/B test or experiment, or build a growth experimentation program. Also use when the user mentions "A/B test," "split test," "experiment," "test this change," "variant copy," "multivariate test," "hypothesis," "should I test this," "which version is better," "test two versions," "statistical significance," "how long should I run this test," "growth experiments," "experiment velocity," "experiment backlog," "ICE score," "experimentation program," or "experiment playbook." Use this whenever someone is comparing two approaches and wants to measure which performs better, or when they want to build a systematic experimentation practice. For tracking implementation, see analytics. For page-level conversion optimization, see cro.

Ab Test Setup
Ab Test Setup linked from Corey Haines marketing skills, with the upstream skill instructions available on GitHub.
Ab Test Store Listing
When the user wants to A/B test App Store product page elements to improve conversion rate. Also use when the user mentions "A/B test", "product page optimization", "test my screenshots", "test my icon", "conversion rate optimization", "CPP", or "custom product pages". For screenshot design, see screenshot-optimization. For metadata optimization, see metadata-optimization.
Account Research
Research a company or person and get actionable sales intel. Works standalone with web search, supercharged when you connect enrichment tools or your CRM. Trigger with "research [company]", "look up [person]", "intel on [prospect]", "who is [name] at [company]", or "tell me about [company]".
Account Research
Research a company using Common Room data. Triggers on 'research [company]', 'tell me about [domain]', 'pull up signals for [account]', 'what's going on with [company]', or any account-level question.
