Process advisor allows you to:
- See improvement opportunities.

Solution architects should consider using the Process advisor tool when they are gathering requirements and when mapping business processes.
Record processes
Process advisor uses Power Automate for desktop to record business tasks, and users record the tasks that they perform.
You can view the actions and must group actions into activities.
Analyze processes
Process advisor analyzes each activity and identifies the frequency of paths through the process and the variants.
The Analytics feature discovers inefficiencies and shows optimization and automation opportunities. Process advisor automatically generates a process map that visualizes the activity's process.
Visualize processes
The process map shows which activities take the longest, how many variations exist, and which variations and actions take the most time.
By using this information, you can identify which automations are required and the type of automation to create.
