🛠️ FAQ

1. Why should I use App.width and App.height instead of Parent.width and Parent.height?
Because ‘App’ loads immediately, making dimensions available faster, whereas ‘Parent’ relies on a sequential loading process.

2. Will this change affect my existing app layouts?
No, switching the reference to ‘App’ only changes how dimensions are retrieved; your layout remains the same but loads faster.

3. Can I use this optimization for other components in Power Apps?
Yes, referencing ‘App’ properties can be applied whenever you need immediate global app context to improve performance.
