How to debug and show variables pane

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
I'm trying to debug a simple flow. This is a one-man shop so I have no internal resources to consult for what should be a pretty basic question for someone getting started with Power Automate 365.
 
Here's a screenshot of my flow. Based on some internet searching I expected to see a pane to the right of the flow but unfortunately don't see anything at all. I'd like to be able to step over/into/etc. just as I would with most development environments but for now I'll settle for just having a variables pane. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

    Currently you are using power automate cloud flow which does not have any variable pane to view the values of variable while debugging. 
     
    Power Automate Desktop - component of Power Automate which is used for developing UI Automation have the variable pane and additional features like run next action, breakpoint etc for debugging purposes.
