I have a SharePoint site with 12 document libraries. I want to set up the same workflow for all 12 document libraries. How can I do this without having to rewrite the workflow each time?

    The easiest way to do this would be to set up one flow and get it working. Then use the Save As feature to make a copy of the flow and update it to point to the next document library. Keep doing that until you have it set up for all 12 document libraries.

    Define variables for the document library name and other key parameters at the beginning of your flow. This way, when you copy the flow, you only need to update the variable values.

    Add comments or notes within your flow to remind yourself or others what needs to be updated when creating copies. This can save time and reduce errors.
