Power Automate Desktop Flow Not Reflecting Latest Changes in View Mode

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi All,

I have developed a bot using the Power Automate Desktop application to automate a desktop application. I currently have a Premium license and run the bot in attended mode using my ID.

However, I am facing an issue when making updates to the flow. After editing the code for bug fixes or enhancements, the changes are not reflected when I trigger the flow from the View mode. In order for the latest changes to take effect, I must click the Edit button, open the flow in edit mode, and then run it from there. Only then does the updated code execute.

I have already attempted the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Deleted the cache files in the Power Automate folder

  • Restarted the Power Automate services

  • Additionally, I tried creating a copy of the flow, but the copied flow is also reflecting the older version of the code, and the recent changes are not appearing there.

Despite these actions, the issue persists. Each time, I need to open the flow in edit mode before running it for the changes to take effect.

Could you please assist in identifying the cause of this issue and advise on a permanent fix?

    You need to also Publish the changes (not just save them). 


    That is version control and its fairly recent addition to PAD
