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.
