How Do You Copy a Shared Flow in Power Automate?

You can't directly copy a shared flow in Power Automate. However, you can create a new flow based on the existing shared flow. Here's how:

1. Open the shared flow: Navigate to the shared flow you want to copy.
2. Click "Create a flow from this template": You'll find this option in the top right corner of the shared flow page.
3. Provide a name for your new flow: This will be the name of the new flow you're creating.
4. Select a location for the new flow: Choose where you want to store the new flow, such as your personal environment or a specific environment.
5. Click "Create": This will create a new flow based on the shared flow.

Practical Insights:

• You can customize the new flow to meet your specific needs.
• This method allows you to reuse the logic and actions of the shared flow without modifying the original.

Example:

Imagine you want to create a flow that sends an email notification whenever a new file is uploaded to a specific folder in your OneDrive. You can find a shared flow template for this task, create a new flow based on it, and then customize it to send the email to a specific address or include additional information in the email body.
