Namaste everyone,

Hope you all are doing well!

In this blog post, we’ll explore how to transform a managed solution into an unmanaged one. Recently, I encountered a situation where we faced obstacles due to our inability to modify a managed solution. Fortunately, we discovered a method to convert it into an unmanaged solution.

Let’s follow step by step process to do that!

Export a solution:

• Login to PowerApps.
• Make sure you have two environments ready; we will export our managed solution from environment 1 then we will make some changes in the solution then will import that solution in environment 2.

• Select “Solutions” from left navigation.

• Click on +New Solution.

• Give name to your solution (e.g. Solution A), select Publisher and click on “Create”.
• Now, open the solution (Solution A), click on Add existing and then Table.

• Select “Contact” table and click on “Next” and then click on “Add”.

• Add all the required components which you want to move to another environment and “Publish”. [Do not forget to add all the dependencies]
• Now, go back to the solution page, select “Solution A” and click on “Export” and then “Next”.

• Select export as “Managed (Recommended)” and click on “Export”.

• Click on “Download” to download the zip file of your solution.

Update XML file in Zip file:

• Now, Goto “Downloads” >> open the zip file >> then open the XML file named “solution” as shown below:

• Now, change the value of “Managed” property to 0 as highlighted below then “Save”.

Import the Solution:

• Now, Goto PowerApps.
• Change the environment to “Environment 2”.

• Select “Import Solution” then select the zip file which we have downloaded and updated earlier and click “Next”.

• Now, see the type of the solution, it should show as “Unmanaged” and click on “Import”.

• After successfully downloading your solution, you will encounter the following message and you will see your imported solution under list of Unmanaged Solution:

Hope it helps!
