Currently Power Automate Desktop does not support export function to save implemented flows in a zip file. It's impossible to share created flows to others. MS should endow this functionality in Power Automate Desktop asap. Thanks.

Hi @Jimmyhbs

This feature is indeed very useful and we are currently investigating ways to implement it in Power Automate Desktop.

In the meantime, you could use the following workaround to share a PAD flow:

1. Open your PAD flow through the Designer
2. Select all the Actions and copy them to the clipboard
3. Paste the clipboard's contents to a text file

This file can be shared with others. Then, we would need to copy and paste the Actions from the text file to a Designer window.
Please note that the captured UI Elements and Images cannot be copied. Those would need to be recaptured.

I hope the above helps!

Apparently Power Automate Desktop is developed from WinAutomation. Several functions have not been endued not only export/import functions. Triggered, scheduler and logs are not bundled yet. We are looking forward these functionalities in coming new version. Besides, a way to allow Power Automate and Power Automate Desktop can make use developed flows from each other is required. Thanks.
