Move flow from one solution to another

Hi Guys,

I created a new solution and from within my new solution I did:

Add Existing > Automation > Cloud Flow,

I then selected a flow from another solution. It was then visible in my new solution and I assumed I had made a copy of it, however when I run the flow in one environment, it also runs in the other. It looks like the flow hasn't been duplicated at all and I am really confused by this behaviour.

What is the simplest way to move a flow to a new solution?

Adding a flow to another solution does not make a copy , Adding an Existing flow is just a reference to the same flow, If you tried to make a copy by Save A copy you will not be able to add it in a solution.

Can you explain exactly what you are trying to achieve here?

Hi @Mira_Ghaly ,
Thank you, that makes sense.
I am attempting to move a bunch of flows from a dev solution to a production solution

So after adding the flow , I believe you have exported and imported into the other environment and once the solution is imported make sure that the flows are turned on.

So I need to export the whole solution?
In my old solution I have 18 flows, I only want to move 3 of them to production.
If I need to export the whole flow then how do I continually push only the flows I have changed to my production solution?

No you don't need just create a new solution and add the flows you want to move the 3 flows and then export the solution from Dev and import to production.

4. Click Add Existing and choose your flows

5. Click on Export solution the solution will be download

6. Switch your environment to the Production

@Mira_Ghaly , thank you for explaining, I now understand.

The issue I have is that I only have one environment and was planning on using 2 solutions (one for dev flows and one for production flows).
