Unable to import desktop flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 77

Currently, I'm using PAD community edition. I've created a desktop flow that I want to share with my team member. I created the solution and was able to get the zip file. I shared the same zip file with my teammate and tried to import the flow into his system. But, I don't see any flow imported into his account. Is there any way, I can work this thing out?

 

 

Thanks in Advance

    I don’t think it should be a zip file. I think he clicks something on the Microsoft website from the solution to download the flow to his own PAD. I’m not at my computer, but I’ll find it later today if you are still having trouble.

    Here it is:

    In the solution, left click the 3 dots and go to Edit:

    On any of the flows inside the solution, do the same thing:

    Here, click Save As, and that should give the user the option to pull it down into their local PAD:

    This copy in their local PAD will be separate from the saved version online.  This is good when you want to have a master copy online, but each individual needs their own, such as for usernames and passwords.  He/She can make changes to the flow and save it on their local machine w/o altering the original flow.

    Good Luck!
