Copying a PAD flow or steps

I am creating a number of flows to run reports. They all share a number of steps (e.g. login, download report). It would be very helpful to be able to copy a PAD flow or some of the steps into a new flow. Is there a way to do this? If not, is there a way to call one from from another - this would enable me to modularize the commen components and call from multiple flows.

Hi @joshd111 ,

You can use CTRL + C & CTRL + V to copy paste actions.
You can also select multiple actions by holding CTRL and then CTRL + C & CTRL + V
Hope, this helps.

Thanks

@Anonymous What you suggest works within one flow and I have used it in the past. I wasn't clear about my ask now. I need to copy steps from one PAD flow to another. Or to do something as simple as opening an existing flow and then "Save As..." so I can get another copy.

Figured it out. I didn't know you can open two copies of the PAD editor by editing two PAD flows. Once they are both open, then copy/paste works as expected.

I have found that using flow.microsoft.com you are able to 'Save As' a PAD desktop flow.
