Helper IPower Automate Flow not longer editable
Hi all,
It is a bit strange to have this problem: on clicking the "Edit" option of a power automate flow visual, I was directed to a page as shown in the below screen shot.
It shows neither me the exist automations built before, nor an "+New" dropdown menu under the blue bar, while they were there one week ago. It is now emtpy and seems nothing could be done on this page except "return to report".
I went to the flow.miscrosoft.com, the flow is listed there, but its status is shown as "right away", like in the below screenshot.
Does anyone know what is happening, or what is the possible cause of the problem? There is an "install" option on the upper right corner in the second screenshot, do I need to do that installation? (I have already the PowerBI desktop installed)
Thank you very much for the help!

Hi Cheetah
From your description, you can check the following:
- Network condition: When you edit Power Automate visual, you need to connect to it through the network, if your network condition is not good, this may happen to you. You can wait patiently for a while or check and optimize your network conditions
- Permissions: From the photos you uploaded, you can see that the Flow you are using was shared with you by others. You can check if you have the corresponding permission to trigger the flow

CheetahHi Jianbo,
Thank you for coming to help!
About the questioning of permission. That looks like related to another possible bug. The flow was created by me, after it became not editable I shared it with a colleague who found it editable from her side. Then the flow became shown only in the "shared with me" tab but no longer in my "cloud flow" tab.
About the connection, it looks normal for other web activities, and I was waiting for several hours to load that page.
But thanks again!
