Desktop flow recovery

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Kong11 2

One of our organizational users deleted their desktop flow. We have tried recovering from cache but that hasn't worked.

The only option we can think of is windows system restore. Not sure if restoring windows to a previous restore point going to bring the flow back?

Any guidance is appreciated.

    @Kong11 you can recover cloud flow , but sadly not a desktop flow. Only precaution is to backup regularly the solution
