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.

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.
