Can't export flow via .zip file

Hello- I used to always be able to export a flow via .zip (legacy) but I'm not seeing it anymore. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi @Shap1,

     

    As a workaround you could use the M365 CLI approach. There is a m365 flow export command.

     

    Try something like:

    m365 login
    m365 flow export -i "yourflowid" -e "yourenvironmentid" -f zip -p "./YourExportZipName.zip"
    m365 logout

    Thanks for this. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with CLI and not sure exactly where to go.  Do I need to download Azure CLI?

    I noticed it doesn’t show that export option when I try from a flow inside a solution.

     

    Is there a way you can copy/move the flow to an area in the environment outside the solution, then export from there?

    Hi @Shap1,

     

    It is CLI for Microsoft 365, which is Node.js package. The user Guide to install & use this command line interface can be found over here:

    https://pnp.github.io/cli-microsoft365/user-guide/installing-cli/

    https://pnp.github.io/cli-microsoft365/user-guide/using-cli/

     

    Btw, also try what @takolota is suggesting. That might be easier/quicker if you are not familiar with CLI yet.

    When this has happened to me, I use Save as to make a copy of the flow. I can then usually export the copied version.
