explanation for non-techies**
Imagine your office has a large filing cabinet filled with various documents. Over time, finding a specific document becomes a daunting task, as you have to sift through numerous files. Now, think about introducing a color-coded tagging system to this cabinet. By assigning different colored tags to different types of documents, you can quickly locate what you need without rummaging through everything. For instance, all legal documents might have a red tag, while HR-related papers could have a blue tag.
In the world of Power Automate, a tool used to automate repetitive tasks on your computer, a similar concept is being introduced. Power Automate allows users to create "desktop flows," which are essentially automated sequences of actions that can be run on your computer. With the new tagging feature, you can now assign tags to these desktop flows. This makes it easier to organize, search, and filter through them, much like the color-coded tags in your filing cabinet.
The tags act as labels that help categorize your flows, making it simpler to manage and locate specific ones when needed. For example, if you have several flows related to client communications, you could tag them all with "Client" and easily find them later by searching for that tag. This new feature will be available starting September 30, 2025, and aims to streamline the process of managing desktop flows, enhancing efficiency and productivity without requiring any immediate action from users.
