An interesting work around for version history in Power Automate

Using previous flow runs to restore your flow changes

Have you ever made a change to a Power Automate flow, only to run it and realize you need to undo them? For all the reasons you might need a previous version of a flow, version history is not yet available in general availability at the time of writing. Even if it was, without good version comments, this is still a challenge. I've also had trouble using the new editor and the undo function. 


I don't know how it happened, but I accidentally right clicked on a step in a flow run history within the new view and noticed that the "Copy action" was available on the step. 

I copied that into another flow and confirmed it worked as if I had copied the step within the editor. I also had some changes to undo in my current flow, so I was able to go back to the last few runs and reconstruct the steps I'd deleted within seconds!


Now you have 28 days of version history from each instance you ran from the tests that we both know you ran after each major change 😉
