Flow no longer shows under Document Library Automate menu

Posted on by GlennM

Greetings. I have a 'for the selected item' flow that is initiated by selecting a document in a library and then using the ellipses to get the popup menu and under the Automate option selecting the name of the flow to run. This has been working fine for a couple of years, but I recently moved the flow into a Solution to better manage it and its associated processes. This seems to have removed the flow from the Automate menu. How can I get it back? I published all customizations in the solution, and for a brief moment I could see the Flow again under the Automate menu, but now it is gone again and nothing seems to bring it back. If I do not have a document selected and I select the 'Integrate > Power Automate > See your flows' I can see the flow I need, but the page gives me no way to Integrate that flow as the menuing structure suggests. After hours of searching, I have found near zero documentation or discussion on this issue. Please help me mend the things I break! Thanks in advance.

Re: Flow no longer shows under Document Library Automate menu

Thanks for the reply, Alex, but the flow is in the default environment. The solution is also in the default environment, but I'm guessing being in a solution make the flow somehow more elusive. I removed the flow from the solution, and I also went to the 'See your flows' option and did a quick edit (deleted trigger and readded it), but still the flow does not show up under the Automate menu. Sure seems like Microsoft left some dangling wires out there on the See our Flows option. So, the flow is still not available to run from the at the document library, and since it is a "for a selected file" trigger, there is no way to trigger it from outside the library. Kinda stuck. I know there is an option to add a column to the library and load in some JSON to make it act like a Link/Button to run the flow, but I was hoping to avoid that.

Re: Flow no longer shows under Document Library Automate menu

Finally found a solution. I did a "Save As" on the flow. Then the new version showed up in the document library. Previously I tried deleting the trigger and adding it back, but that was not enough to get the edited version associated with the document library. Saving the whole flow as a new flow did make the association, but the sharing from the original flow did not carry over, and so that had to be reset, but was not a big deal.
