Exporting a flow that is in a solution

Posted on by Heidi2020

Hello - I have some flows and canvas apps that I've packaged into a solution which is unmanaged and in the default environment. I made one change to one of the flows and saved it. I went to export a zip of that flow now that I've changed it (which I've done many times before), but the option to export that one flow in the solution is no longer there. I'm in the GCC tenant.

Hi @Heidi2020 ,

Are you in make.powerapps.com or flow.microsoft.com?

Can you try signing out and back into http://flow.microsoft.com/

Hello -
I am in gov.flow.microsoft.us because I work for a government agency, so am in the Government Community Cloud instead of Commercial. I logged out and logged back in, but have the same result.

Hi @Heidi2020

It seems that the function to export solution aware flows is no longer available, you can only export the entire solution.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Heidi2020

If your Flow doesn't call any other Flows, you can "Save as" as a new Flow, go to "My Flows," and then you'll be able to export it. After exporting, you can delete it.

Cheers
Manuel

There is a simple workaround for this, open the flow and copy the whole URL until the flow ID.

It should look like this: https://make.powerautomate.com/environments/Default-d8cbce4e-c11c-489f-99b0-450a82ae0e91/solutions/5f9d9cf6-c386-ed11-81ad-000d3a9ce016/flows/fed2acc4-399b-4f4c-b997-761514345bb7/

Then, in a new browser tab, copy the URL and add the word "export" at the end, example:

https://make.powerautomate.com/environments/Default-d8cbce4e-c11c-489f-99b0-450a82ae0e91/solutions/5f9d9cf6-c386-ed11-81ad-000d3a9ce016/flows/fed2acc4-399b-4f4c-b997-761514345bb7/export

That should open the export package, you can provide feedback at Power Automate · Community

This works like a charm. Just remember there should be a "/" between the flow ID and "export" (i.e. ...flows/GUID/export)

The /export trick is fantastic. Just make sure to get the initial URL from My Flows, not from Solutions, as the GUID is different from Solutions, and you will get a resource not found error (if your URL ends in "/details?utm_source=solution_explorer" you're grabbing it from Solutions).

If you have a lot of flows, and haven't edited the one you want to export recently, you will also need to scroll down and click Show More. Unfortunately the Search gadget only searches the context of items currently displayed. Alternatively, from Solutions on the left, you can export all the flows in your solution in one go, but the folder structure and resulting JSON is different.

THANK YOU!! That was the piece I was missing from this step. So for everyone else, the trick is to remove the /solutions/GUID part then add /export to the end. So for example:

This:
https://make.powerautomate.com/environments/Default-88144b45-c2z1-4e1s-9ec2-ec244d3834d1c/solutions/fd140aff-4df4-11dw-bd17-001tb9312134/flows/e1e9151f-ds34-7789c-9c15-0e9a27a1901b2/details?v3=false

Change to:
https://make.powerautomate.com/environments/Default-88144b45-c2z1-4e1s-9ec2-ec244d3834d1c/flows/e1e9151f-ds34-7789c-9c15-0e9a27a1901b2/export
