“Oops, it’s gone. My Power Automate flow is no longer to be found, how can I see whether it was deleted and how to restore it?” This article is motivated by one very stressful evening during the preparation of the approval template. While I was editing the flow to replace one environment variable, something happened. Something bad. Out of the blue, the flow was gone. Instead of a flow I spent tens of hours creating I saw an error message – the flow doesn’t exist. And I went into a panic mode. So this article is for me too, to not panic again in the future just because a flow goes missing. Not ..read more

Before you continue reading the article, I would like to point out that it already assumes certain knowledge of Power Apps concepts.
