Maker Welcome Content is a feature in Power Platform Admin Center that allows administrators to create custom welcome screens for their app makers when they get started with Power Apps.
It’s a great way to provide a personalized experience to your users and make them feel welcomed. Maker Welcome Content can include text, images, and videos to help app makers understand the purpose and use of the environment.
Maker Welcome Content is displayed to app makers when they sign in to the environment. It’s a one-time experience, and they won’t see the welcome screen again unless you make changes to it.
