Good morning, I am creating a manual flow on a document library in SharePoint. I need to be able to use the Manually trigger a flow b/c we need to input the emails of all of those needing to review the document. They are not always the same people.

If I pull the id from the Get Files (properties only), it forces the Update into a For Each and is updating all the statuses in the entire library. Is there a parse out the item I need to update only?

I have the same question (0)

If you do a manual trigger then it is your responsibility to provide the list of files you want to process. Do you have a "needs review" flag on your documents? Or is it always the same file?

You should use the manual trigger For a selected file and add an input of type Email so you can add your emails when you trigger the flow.

Then in your library, you can select a file and start the flow which will prompt you to enter your emails.
