You are designing a Microsoft Power Platform solution to include several canvas apps. You are using Azure DevOps for solution management and deployment. You deploy managed solutions into production…

Solution Packager is primarily a tool for unpacking and repacking solution files, which can facilitate version modification within the files, but it does not directly 'set' the version during an export operation as a standalone step.

When exporting a solution directly from the Power Apps solutions page, users are presented with an option to manually update the solution's version number before the export process is finalized, providing direct control over the version at export time.

In an Azure DevOps build pipeline, specific tasks, often part of the Power Platform Build Tools, can be configured to automatically increment or set the solution version number during the export process, ensuring consistent versioning in CI/CD scenarios.

Setting the canvas app version number in Power Apps Studio only applies to that specific canvas app within the solution and does not update the overall solution version number.
