Business value

You don't risk losing your changes when there are flow errors or during an outage. This feature saves you time by preventing the need to recreate work lost during an outage. It also saves your organization money because it can allocate resources to fixing outages instead of taking time away from flow makers.

Feature details

The new designer automatically saves a copy of the flow to browser storage when it can't save the flow, even if there are errors. This capability is useful in two situations. First, when the underlying service is unavailable, makers can avoid losing unsaved changes when they exit their flows. Second, for non-solution flows that don't have the Save draft functionality, you can exit your flow with errors and return later to fix the errors and save the flow.

A banner appears on the designer to notify you when the designer saves the flow copy to the browser's storage. You can now exit your flow.

When you return to the flow in the designer, the previously saved version loads by default. You can recover the unsaved copy through the Recover button on the banner.

You can fix errors in this copy of the flow. If you don't save this copy, the flow uses the previously saved version when you reload the tab. When you save the copy, you replace the previously saved version. Saving the copy also clears the browser storage because there are no unsaved changes to the flow.

Selecting 'Recover' loads the unsaved version of flow, replacing the saved version of the flow.

When you return to the designer, your unsaved copy is available behind the Recover button.

If there's a 'Save' error, or an outage in Power Automate service, the browser saves a flow copy.
