Sharing a desktop flow

Power Automate Desktop, as mentioned in Chapter 2, Getting Started with Power Automate, can be used to create and manage desktop flows. At this time, there are some caveats and limitations:

• The Power Automate desktop application only shows and allows you to edit desktop flows. You cannot see cloud flows in the Power Automate desktop app.
• The Power Automate web portal shows you both cloud and desktop flows. You can edit cloud flows in the browser, but editing or running a desktop flow requires the Power Automate desktop application.
• You can share desktop flows within the Power Automate web portal interface. You cannot share desktop flows from the Power Automate desktop application.

As the product continues to mature, some of these caveats may change.

In order to complete this exercise, we’ll first need to create a very basic desktop flow.
