How to know a SharePoint file’s content changed or metadata in Power Automate?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 65

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a Power Automate flow that handles versioning in a SharePoint document library. My goal is:


  • If the file content is updated → publish as a major version (e.g., 1.2 → 2.0).

  • If only metadata (like title, description, or category) is modified → keep it as a minor version (e.g., 1.1 → 1.2)

I’m not sure how to differentiate content changes from metadata changes in Power Automate.

Is there a way to detect whether a file’s content was updated rather than its metadata? Any guidance, expressions, or actions that can help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
