Business value

When you can’t quickly see what changed between flow versions, you lose time fixing problems and risk pushing the wrong updates to production. Side-by-side version comparison gives you a clear view of what was added, removed, or updated so you can make confident decisions. You resolve issues faster, avoid costly mistakes, and work better with co-owners by reviewing changes before publishing.

Feature details

Version comparison allows makers to analyze two versions of a desktop flow. The comparison highlights action‑level changes, including added, modified, and deleted steps using color‑coded indicators. It also displays differences in variables, UI elements, images, and flow properties, giving a complete technical breakdown of how a flow evolved over time. The view supports functional inspection of each change, letting makers expand a step to see detailed modifications. This comparison model builds on the Power Automate for desktop versioning system, using version snapshots stored in Dataverse to generate precise diffs.
