Dataflow deadlock

When a dataflow can't be saved for somewhat reason, you get an error. When I want to quit this screen, I get the question If I want to save or not.

 

clicking on 'save' gets the same error, if I don't want to save I can't leave the screen, and clicking on cancel doesn't respond. 

The only way to get out is to close my browser, I don't think this is the MS-way to go...

 

Any suggestions?

Hi @AdLouter ,

Based on the description, the dataflow Gen2 Automatically saving to the cloud any change made to a dataflow. This saved change is called the draft dataflow.

Saving a draft of dataflow is as easy as just closing the browser, closing the dataflows editors, or navigating to another workspace.

Then, try to review the dataflow is not encountering any publishing errors that leads to error. Check if any linked tables are causing the error.

Besides, try to use another dataflow or create a new dataflow to see if having save error.
