Sharing my Flow
With the free version of Power Automate, you cannot share a Flow by sharing some file. That is only available when you have a bigger business or educational license and Power Automate Desktop is linked to the web version.
However, you can copy and paste. When you copy your whole flow, you can paste that into a text file. Here are the steps:
Open your Flow you want to copy
Use cntrl+A to select everything
Right Click on the flow and select Copy
Open NotePad and start a new Text Document
Use cntrl+V to paste the text
Save the Text Document
To use the text on a different computer:
Copy the text file to another system
Open the text file with NotePad
Use cntrl+A to copy all the text
Create a new Flow in Power Automate
In the Flow, Right Click and choose Paste
Here is a text file copy of what I did in the video. You're welcome! 😁
