+Power Apps is a high-productivity development platform for business apps, and has four major components:
 
-- [Canvas apps](canvas-apps/getting-started.md) start with your user experience, crafting a highly tailored interface with the power of a blank canvas and connecting it to your choice of 200 data sources. You can build canvas apps for web, mobile, and tablet applications.
-- [Model-driven apps](model-driven-apps/model-driven-app-overview.md) start with your data model – building up from the shape of your core business data and processes in the Common Data Service to model forms, views, and other components. Model-driven apps automatically generate great UI that is responsive across devices.
-- [Portals](portals/overview.md) start to create external-facing websites that allow users outside your organization to sign in with a wide variety of identities, create and view data in Common Data Service, or even browse content anonymously.
-- [Common Data Service](common-data-service/data-platform-intro.md) is the data platform that comes with Power Apps and allows you to store and model business data. It's the platform on which Dynamics 365 applications are built; if you’re a Dynamics customer, your data is already in the Common Data Service.

 ## Common Data Service
 
-The Common Data Service allows you to securely store and manage data within a set of standard and custom entities, and you can add fields to those entities when you need them.
+[Common Data Service](common-data-service/data-platform-intro.md) is the data platform that comes with Power Apps and allows you to store and model business data. It's the platform on which Dynamics 365 apps (such as Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing, and Project Service Automation) are built. If you’re a Dynamics 365 customer, your data is already in Common Data Service.

+If you just started using Power Apps, you might have questions before creating an app such as which app type (canvas app or a model-driven app) you should start with or which app will address your requirement. You might have an idea in your mind, but perhaps you haven't fully thought through all the details and information you need to create an app.
