    You can physically copy subflows from one Desktop flow to another.  You can even save these as text.  So Control C on this:

    becomes:

     

    Excel.LaunchAndOpen Path: $'''H:\\temp file\\test.xlsx''' Visible: True ReadOnly: False LoadAddInsAndMacros: False Instance=> ExcelInstance
    DISABLE Excel.SaveAs Instance: ExcelInstance DocumentFormat: Excel.ExcelFormat.XMLSpreadsheet DocumentPath: $'''H:\\temp file\\test'''
    Excel.ActivateWorksheetByName Instance: ExcelInstance Name: $'''Sheet 1'''
    SET ExcelFormula TO $'''=COUNTIFS(test2!D:D,D2)'''
    Excel.WriteCell Instance: ExcelInstance Value: ExcelFormula Column: $'''M''' Row: 2

     

    And I am pretty sure all the UI data stays captured inside of these.  Images will work also if you stay on the same machine.  So, if I copy subflow actions that use image based processing over to another flow, I see the images appear in the Image pane.

     

    I have noticed that when UI's are involved, there is a LOT of data, so just prepare for the Paste session to take a while.  It freezes my browser if I try to paste it here, but in notepad it works in less than a second, so it just depends on where you are trying to paste it.

     

    Best of luck!
