The container control previously shipped in experimental as a replacement for the authoring group renamed as the enhanced group. It was renamed to the container control as there is value in both a lightweight authoring group and a strutured container control with additional properties.

Edit any canvas app that you built, that you own, or for which you have **Can edit** permissions. You can edit an app in Power Apps Studio. If you try to edit an app that's open for editing elsewhere, a message tells you whether you already have it open or another user does.

Anybody who has **Can edit** permission for an app can edit it, but only one person can edit an app at a time. If you try to edit an app that someone else is already editing, this message appears. You can't proceed until the other person closes the app (or that person's session times out).

An app can be shared with others. Any **Co-owner** for an app can edit it. Consider the following scenarios when collaborating over an app.
