Updating Power Automate Desktop

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

In our company we use PAD a lot, but we struggle whenever we have to update the software. 

The built in function, search for updates, doesn't seem to do anything.

We have to go to the Power Automate website and download the software from scratch every time we need to update. 

 

How does your company handle PAD updates? We need admin permission to install it, which only IT department has, so we have to contact them pr. update and pr. machine that needs to be updated.

    At our company, we have a "Software Center" application on our computers, and IT pulls the latest version down, pops it in there, and if you have the right AD role/license/however they control it, it'll show up in your Software Center and can download/install it, bypassing the admin requirement.
