Sintel Forms Is Now Sintel Apps – Action Required

Sintel Forms has now been upgraded and renamed to Sintel Apps.

This is more than a name change. Sintel Apps is the new, modern version of Sintel Forms built using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx).

To continue receiving updates and future enhancements, you will need to migrate your existing forms to the new version.

This article explains:

  • What’s changed

  • How Sintel Apps differs from Sintel Forms

  • What action you need to take

  • How migration works

 

 

Why This Change Is Happening

 

Microsoft is retiring older SharePoint Add-In models in favour of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), which is now the standard development model for modern SharePoint.

Sintel BI was already built using SPFx.

Sintel Forms has now been rebuilt using the same framework. This ensures:

  • Long-term Microsoft support

  • Improved performance

  • Modern SharePoint compatibility

  • Future extensibility

To reflect this upgrade, Sintel Forms is now called Sintel Apps.

Sintel Forms vs Sintel Apps – What’s the Difference?

 

Sintel Forms (Old) Sintel Apps (New)
Built using legacy SharePoint Add-In model Built using SharePoint Framework (SPFx)
Classic architecture Modern Microsoft-supported architecture
Limited future extensibility Designed for future app expansion
Separate from Sintel BI Built on the same technical foundation as Sintel BI

At this stage:

  • Sintel Apps and Sintel BI remain separate products

  • Licensing remains unchanged

  • They are not yet merged into one platform

This update simply aligns both products under the same modern Microsoft framework.

What Has Not Changed?

 

  • Your existing SharePoint lists

  • Your form data

  • Your workflows (they will automatically be rebuilt during migration)

  • Your licensing model

Action Required: You Must Migrate Your Forms

 

To move from Sintel Forms to Sintel Apps, you must run the migration process.

Your forms will not automatically switch over.

A migration tool is provided to safely rebuild your existing form configuration inside the new Sintel Apps designer.

Below is a summary of how it works:

  1. Install Sintel Apps on your SharePoint site.
  2. Open the app and import your existing configuration when prompted.
  3. The system rebuilds your form in the new designer as a preview.
  4. Review any migration notifications.
  5. Click Save when you are ready to make it live.

Nothing changes for users until you save.
The most recently saved version (old or new) is always the active version.
