Hi,

 

I created an MS Flow custom approval and noticed that the UI between outlook online and outlook desktop is different. Not sure if this is a limitation currently but is there any workaround to make outlook desktop display as outlook online.

 

Here's an outlook online approval

Here's desktop outlook.

    The problem is that its two different development teams writing the code for how to display the Approval. This causes inconsistencies in formatting.  I'm not aware of any way to get them to look the same if you are using the regular Approval action.
