Colors used in a canvas app should be accessible to color-blind and low-vision users. All Power Apps themes are accessible by default. When modifying colors used in an app, follow these guidelines to ensure that they remain accessible. There are several tools available online which can help you identify color contrast issues.

Your [next step](#next-steps) after this article is to display and manage data from that data source in your app, as in these examples:

Some connectors, such as **Office 365 Outlook**, require no additional steps, and you can show data from them immediately. Other connectors prompt you to provide credentials, specify a particular set of data, or perform other steps. For example, [SharePoint](connections/connection-sharepoint-online.md) and [SQL Server](connections/connection-azure-sqldatabase.md) require additional information before you can use them. With [Dataverse](connections/connection-common-data-service.md), you can change the environment before you select an entity.

If you're updating an app, you might need to identify or change the source of data that appears in a gallery, a form, or another control. For example, you might need to identify a data source as you update an app that someone else created or that you created long ago.
