PAD flows show on my Desktop computer, not on Laptop

Posted on by dheminger1018 33

I have been using PAD about a year now.

New problem.  I am changing some of my flows so that I can run them from my desktop or laptop (slowly converting)

Problem:  Some flows show up on my desktop computer but not on my laptop computer.  Signed on to both with same account.

e.g.

Laptop:

Desktop:

Screenshot 2023-05-26 112203.png

Note that in the second (desktop) screenshot there is a "004 Run Month ..." that does not appear in the first (laptop) screenshot.

 

I can copy a flow from my desktop via notepad, save it in cloud and create a new flow in laptop, then copy from the cloud text file.  Seems to work.

A workaround, not a solution.

 

As you can see, these flows are for Month End which is upon us.

 Quite frustrating.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks, 

 

David

    Hi @dheminger1018 

     

    Just to confirm, environment you have selected is same as for desktop in laptop ?

    Not exactly sure what you mean by environment.

     

    I am signed onto PAD (and other Microsoft 365 apps) with the same email address and password.

    So make sure that environment you have selected in laptop is same as that of environment in Desktop PAD aaplication.

    Sorry about slow reply.  Month End eating my time up.

     

    I do not show anything mentioning environment.

    I am using PAD free.  Have not paid for it or Power Automate.
