Hello friends,
how do I copy an action in the new editor?
Also: Is there a way to switch back to the old editor?

    Hi @Imke ,

     

    The functionality to copy an action to the clipboard is not available today in the new editor but expect it to be added and GA soon!

     

    In the meantime, you can also go into the legacy editor by saving your flow, exiting to the flow home screen and then click on 'Edit' shown below.  Please mark as a solution to help others find this FAQ too!

    Hi @Imke ,

     

    You can also switch to the classic designer directly from the new editor, by clicking on the three dots "..." and then select switch shown below.

    Thanks a lot @trice602 ,
    the first option isn't avaiable for me any more (therefore the panic 😉 )
    So thanks for pointing out the 2nd option - saved my day 🙂

    Nice! @Imke - glad it helped!  Yes, we're all concerned about missing features in the new editor too but I am confident they will all appear before the classic editor goes away.  I wouldn't expect the classic editor to disappear until 2025+ so we have a year (guessing!)

    I've created an idea to try and get copy/paste into the new designer: https://ideas.powerautomate.com/d365community/idea/545cccd6-6c88-ee11-a81c-6045bdbcd0a8. Votes are appreciated.

    This feature is available to me now. It wasn't available this morning, but in the afternoon it was there!
