    Hi @Jochem ,

     

    There are many ways but sharing few solutions:

     

    Option1:

    • Copy flow and paste to notepad. Save it.

    Option2:

    • If have access to Power Automate cloud, Save it to a solution.

     

    If I have answered your question, please mark my post as Solved.

    If you like my response, please give it a Thumbs Up.

     

    Regards

    Kaif

    Hello,

     

    the copy paste does not work when dealing with specific UI elements.

     

    and i do not have access to the cloud services as i am using the free service. i read the Solutions option was a way but that is also locked behind premium.

    If copy paste to notepad is not working, then signup to Power Automate for free trail and take the back up.

    Let me know if this works.

    Hello, 

     

    i am already signed in into Power automate and there is no Free Trail option anywhere.

    I was referring Power Automate Cloud free trial. If this does not work then license is required to backup the flow.

    You're using CTRL+A, CTRL+C right? cause UI Elements should be saved, unless I've yet to come across ones that don't.
