This feature is fantastic. There are lots of business requirements around this in one of the projects that I am currently working on.
But wait…. I wanted to enable this feature immediately on my environment so I can see the shiny yellow Visualise this view in my app.
According to Microsoft docs, it needs to be enabled by admins in the power Apps Maker portal.

Looking my model-driven app, I searched to find the option in the Settings dialog under Features and couldn’t see it. I looked and also couldn’t see it in my Power Platform admin center – https://aka.ms/ppac
