Interaction between PA Cloud and PA Desktop

I'm able to trigger the desktop flow from the cloud flow with the premium license but I'm wondering how the variables interact with each other. I've been able to make input variables in my Desktop flow which I can pass the parameters into from my cloud flow. When I try to make an output variable for my cloud flow to pick up, I don't see it anywhere. Is there something I'm missing? 
 
I will attach screenshots for reference, but what I am trying to do is use the desktop flow to run some PowerShell code, have the PowerShell code do its thing and then determine values for an output variable for my cloud flow to use.

    It looks like I just had to reload my cloud flow, and it appeared on my dynamic content list!
     
    Thanks,

    Hi,
     
    If you have defined output variables in PAD and have set the required information from PowerShell output to that variable in PAD, you can see the output variable as dynamic content based on output from run desktop flows action see below for an example :
     
    Here RPAChallengeWebsiteLoaded is a output variable from the desktop flow.
     

    Thanks & Regards,
    Nived N
