Review Customization Options and Submit a SharePoint Feature Request
Use this approach when you need to hide the buttons but cannot find a built-in setting.
SharePoint Online does not currently offer an out-of-the-box setting to remove or hide the Power Apps and Automate buttons from a modern document library command bar. Custom development may offer a workaround, but supportability and reliability depend on the approach.
Open the SharePoint site, select the document library, and check that Power Apps and Automate appear on the modern command bar.
Ask your SharePoint administrator or developer to evaluate whether a supported customization can meet your requirements. Avoid relying on page or CSS changes without assessing their support and maintenance risks.
Visit the Microsoft Feedback portal, select SharePoint, and submit or vote for a request to control the visibility of these command-bar buttons.
Edit SharePoint Library Documents with WPS Office
WPS Office is a free, lightweight Office alternative with a familiar interface. Open downloaded SharePoint documents in WPS to continue working with common Office formats. WPS does not change SharePoint command-bar settings.
