Can't edit flow, Says Flow created with newer version

Posted on by happy_jianghui

Hello experts,

Background: The version I'm using is the latest one, and I've created several projects on this updated version. The issue is that while I can edit some of these projects, others are uneditable (as shown in the attached image). Even after uninstalling and reinstalling the software, the problem persists. How can I resolve this?

This flow has been generated by a newer Power Automate version than the one currently installed. Download and install the latest version of Power Automate and try again.

It appears you've created flows for a version newer than the current one, such as 2.45, while you are on 2.44.46. Try upgrading to 2.45 if there are updates available in the settings tab.

Alternatively, you can view your workflow code in the Dataverse process table, access your Power Automate code, and attempt to copy and paste the elements individually to resolve the issue.

You're right, it seems to be a version inconsistency issue. After my computer starts up, the PAD automatically launches, displaying version 2.45. However, when I manually close PAD and then launch it from the desktop shortcut, it shows version 2.44. Why is this happening, and how can I resolve it?

It might be that you have 2 different PAD versions installed.
Maybe you have one downloaded from the Microsoft Store and one from the power automate official site.
Go to you Apps > Installed apps and search for power automate
There the first one is the Microsoft Store version I think.

So either uninstall it or change your desktop shortcut to be the newer version not the Microsoft Store version.

Your advice was helpful. Since the latest version on the PAD official website is 2.44, could you guide me on where to download version 2.45?

I don't think the latest version is updated in PAD official website but install your version with 2.44 then probably you can upgrade manually through check updates button which presents under settings tab.

As @Deenuji adviced you should be able to upgrade it from the PADs settings "Check for updates".
If it wont update to further than 2.44 then it could be because some regions seem to get updates faster than others. So you might have to wait for few days to get the upgrade.
Did you last modify your flow in the same computer or maybe your work computer that has upgraded version and your personal does not?
