explanation for non-techies**
Power Automate is introducing a new feature that allows users to enable version control for desktop flows. Think of this feature like a "track changes" function in a Word document. Just as you can see who made changes to a document and when, this version control allows you to see what changes have been made to a desktop flow, who made them, and when they were made.
Imagine you are working on a team project and everyone is editing the same document. Version control is like having a timeline of all the edits, so you can easily go back to an earlier version if needed or compare different versions to see what has changed. This can be particularly useful if something isn't working as expected, and you need to identify what might have caused the issue.
In Power Automate for desktop, this feature is accessed through a version history option in the context menu. This will show you the version information in the properties window of the desktop flow, allowing you to compare the current version with a previous one or any two versions you choose. This way, you can manage and track changes efficiently without needing to take any additional action. The feature will be generally available starting October 31, 2025.
