Business as usual.
Minus the deadline.
Microsoft retires InfoPath on July 14, 2026. AfterPath rebuilds your exact form — same layout, same approval chain — as a live, auditable web app. No rebuild. No retraining.
When does InfoPath retire?
Microsoft removes InfoPath Forms Services from SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365 on July 14, 2026. Since May 18, 2026, publishing new or updated InfoPath forms is already blocked — and Microsoft provides no automated migration tool. On-premises SharePoint Server keeps rendering forms but becomes unsupported.
The same form. Now it actually works.
A modern web app that behaves like the form your team already knows — with the workflow and the audit trail built in.
Exact layout
Your form, reproduced — not redrawn into a generic template.
Workflow intact
Manager → Director → VP routing and thresholds, rebuilt as-is.
Audit trail
An append-only, tamper-evident log of who approved what, and when.
No plug-ins
Runs in a modern browser. No InfoPath, no legacy dependencies.
From .xsn to live app.
A done-for-you migration that starts with the file you already have — and tells you the truth about what needs a human.
Send us your .xsn
Hand over the InfoPath form file. Its fields, views, and logic are recovered from the file itself.
We run the Autopsy
You get a report: what was recovered automatically, and exactly what needs human review.
We rebuild it, exactly
The same layout and the same approval chain — as a live, database-backed web app.
Your data comes too
Historical submissions migrate from the SharePoint list into the new app.
Keep your forms. Lose the deadline.
Every other path makes you start over. AfterPath reproduces the form your team already knows — then makes it a real, auditable workflow app.
Complex forms get a human, not a guess.
An InfoPath .xsn is a structured archive, so most of a form — fields, views, calculations, routing — can be recovered automatically. But forms with code-behind or deep data connections need human review. AfterPath shows you exactly what needs attention in the Autopsy report, instead of silently guessing. The report is the feature, not the gap.
- Fields & data types
- Layout & views
- Calculations
- Approval routing & thresholds
- Custom code-behind
- External data connections
- Non-standard controls
Reproduced — not redrawn.
The market consensus is that faithful, layout-preserving InfoPath conversion is almost impossible — so most tools migrate you into another build-it-yourself canvas and lose your layout. AfterPath does the thing the field calls impossible: an exact-layout live app from the file you already have. When the form looks the same, trust holds, training survives, and the record still matches the original.
- The same layout your team and your auditors already know
- The approval chain rebuilt, not bolted on afterward
- A tamper-evident audit trail on every submission
InfoPath migration options compared
There are several ways off InfoPath — Power Apps, Nintex, Lightning Tools, Crow Canyon NITRO, FlowForma, Plumsail. Most hand you another builder and a rebuild project, and redraw your layout along the way. AfterPath is the done-for-you, fidelity-first path: your exact form, your approval workflow, your data.

Frequently asked
When does InfoPath retire?
Microsoft removes InfoPath Forms Services from SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365 on July 14, 2026. Since May 18, 2026, publishing new or updated InfoPath forms is already blocked. There is no extension and no automated migration tool from Microsoft.
What happens to my InfoPath forms after July 14, 2026?
In SharePoint Online, forms stop opening, submitting, and publishing. Existing form data stays viewable and exportable, but no new entries can be captured — so any live process running on an InfoPath form needs a replacement before that date.
What about InfoPath on SharePoint Server (on-premises)?
On-premises forms keep rendering after July 14, 2026, but InfoPath becomes unsupported — no security patches or compatibility fixes. For regulated teams that is itself a compliance finding, so the same migration path applies, just on a quieter clock.
Is there an automated tool to migrate InfoPath to Power Apps?
No. Microsoft provides no automated converter, and rebuilding in Power Apps is a manual project that typically redraws your layout. AfterPath rebuilds the exact layout for you; the parts that genuinely need a human are flagged in the Autopsy report up front.
Do we lose our approval workflow?
No. An InfoPath form is rarely an island — it's usually the front end of a SharePoint approval flow. AfterPath reproduces the routing and thresholds (for example Manager → Director → VP, with dollar limits) alongside the form, with a tamper-evident audit trail of who approved what and when.
Can you migrate the data, not just the form?
Yes. Historical submissions in the SharePoint list are migrated into the new database-backed application, so you keep your records alongside the live form.
Will the new form look like our original?
Yes — reproducing the exact layout is the core of AfterPath. The rebuilt app matches the original form, so your team doesn't have to relearn it and the record still matches what auditors expect.
Is the migration fully automated?
No, and we don't claim it is. An InfoPath .xsn is a structured archive, so most of a form is recovered automatically — but forms with code-behind or deep data connections need human review. The Autopsy report shows exactly what needs attention before anything is rebuilt.
How long does an InfoPath migration take?
Timelines scale with how many forms you have and how complex they are. The Autopsy report scopes each form up front, so the timeline is known before any work starts.
Do users need a plug-in or a specific browser?
No. The rebuilt applications run in modern browsers with no InfoPath and no legacy plug-ins.
