The main building blocks for model-driven apps are entities, forms, fields, views, dashboards, charts and sitemap. Model-driven apps always has Common Data Service as back-end, i.e. stores its data in the Common Data Service. The data model is decided and created before the actual app is created.

The command bar is another part of model-driven apps. You can create new or modify existing command buttons. Use JavaScript or [[Power Fx]] to define how the buttons should behave. For a long time Ribbon Workbench has been used to modify commands (before - the Ribbon). Nowadays you can also use the native designer to modify buttons.
