Hi @Anonymous ,

This will mainly happens sometimes because of in the middle you may lost internet issues. In that case it will happen.

Before closing just copy the flow put into notepad file, so it will be more useful if you not able to save you have a backup data as well.

Hi Shweta,

Yes several are facing this issue at certain times.

After a couple of saves it works for me. So try that.

It worked for one of the forum members after removing unused UI elements.

Hi @VJR ,

Thank you for responding. I have tried saving it couple of times and restarting system and re-launching Power Automate Desktop. I'm still getting the same error and have lost unsaved work.

Also, the flows in Power Automate Desktop are not reflecting in Power Automate web . Do you think this might be the issue?

Shweta

Hi @Ahammad_Riyaz ,

Thank you for replying. I'm still getting the error while saving and have lost unsaved work.
Can you please elaborate on how to take backup in a notepad file. Is it copy and paste each action in to notepad?

Thanks,
Shweta

Hi @Anonymous

Hope you are using the same accounts and the same environment.

Hi @VJR ,
Thank you providing link to the accepted solution.
I'm not using any specific license currently. I'm using the license which comes with Office 365 package and signed in using my work account.
Will procuring Power Automate license resolve the issue?

Thanks,
Shweta
