Key insights

• Power Apps: A Microsoft service used for building custom business apps that connect to your data and work across web and mobile.


• Global Variables: Variables accessible from anywhere within the app, allowing for consistent data usage across different screens.


• Local Variables: Variables limited to a specific screen or context, useful for managing data within a single part of the app.


• Using the same name for both global and local variables can lead to confusion; it's important to differentiate them clearly in your code.


• Avoid naming conflicts by using clear naming conventions, such as prefixes or suffixes, to distinguish between variable types.


• Understanding variable scope is crucial in Power Apps development for maintaining efficient and error-free applications.
