In 2014, Microsoft announced that InfoPath forms solution would no longer be developed (although it will be supported until 2023). Frequently, customizing a SharePoint experience means developing and deploying forms-based solutions to capture data in order to automate business processes using InfoPath.

Microsoft Forms is an input-gathering tool that was designed for generating surveys, polls, and quizzes. Microsoft Power Apps is a new low-code development environment where users can use a combination of pre-built templates as well as their own code to rapidly build and deploy applications for their enterprise.

With the introduction of Forms and Power Apps, Microsoft has allowed organizations to build low-code solutions that can be integrated into modern site pages or as standalone apps.
