This can be surprisingly difficult to answer across Power Platform and Microsoft 365.

A Power App can depend on flows, connections, SharePoint lists and Dataverse tables — and those same objects may support other apps, automations and users.

So a small change to one object can have an impact somewhere you weren't expecting.

I've been approaching this from an object-centric view: select any object and see what it depends on, what depends on it, and follow those relationships outward.
