Hi,

I have created a flow long time back and i am not making any changes to it. The flow uses a recorder to record some Web browser activity. It then donloads the files into desired folder on my Local PC.

However, every time i close the Desktop flow, after running the flow following message appears:-

And even if , i don't run the flow, and just click the flow and try to get out of it , without executing flow, the same problem appears.

Please help

So even if you open the flow in edit just for a second and close it right away it asks if you want to save the changes? Thats weird. What version do you have? Can you try it with a different flow. Does it happen with other flows or just that specific one? If it doesn't happen with other flows try creating a new flow where you copy all the actions and save the flow. Then test if the same problem occurs. If that fixes it then it might be just that specific flow being somehow bugged out or something.

If you change anything at all in the flow like change variable values (even input variables) it asks if you want to save before closing.
Is it this more about how inconvenient it is to always press "Don't save" or "Save" when you close the flow or does it actually affect the flow somehow?

If you just want to run the flow and your are not debugging it then its recommended to run it without opening the flow on edit. It will be much faster too. That way you also don't accidentally change anything in the flow.
