Cannot save flow

I don't understand why this has no helpful information. ...  Am I supposed to be able to plug that correlation id into something?

Why does this keep happening on this flow?  To put things mildly, this is frustrating.

I have the same question (0)

    I believe you give the correlation ID to Microsoft help.

    In the meantime, if you run into this again, you can copy and paste entire subflows to text. So, if you can’t save, go to the subflow you want to copy, select all the commands, paste it in notepad and save that so you don’t lose your work. 

    when you come back, you can delete all the old flows, copy the text, and paste it back into the subflow to restore your changes. 

    best of luck!

    @Anonymous does this happen only with a specific flow? can the rest of the desktop flows be saved?

    I appear to have a similar problem.

    I cannot save a Flow. When I attempt to save it (with the same name), a dialog box appears:
    "Connection error

    An error occurred while communicating with the Microsoft cloud services. Try again and if the issue persists contact your administrator.

    Correlation Id: 855eda65-ca1c-4792-9cfb-469157b6030d"

    However, I can save the same flow using the "Save As" function if I specify a different name.

    I've not been able to save any Flow using only the "Save" function.
    I'm using Version 2.15.284.21354 - (updated yesterday). I've had the same problem since installing PAD a few days ago.
