2. Share the connection with the pipeline SPN.
3. The pipeline exports the solution as the owner of all records of the managed solution.
4. The Pipeline SPN imports the solution into the production environment, maintaining the mapping between connection reference and connection ID.

Allow customers to define lists of credentials and use them in the desktop flow connections. These lists allow customers to define which machine(s) can use these credentials. These lists can be used as login credentials in the desktop flow connections and will benefit from the same credential management feature, such as:

• Encryption and data protection
• Password rotation
• Application lifecycle management

During the public preview, only CyberArk credentials are supported for mapping.

VM (virtual machine) image capture allows you to reuse the custom VM image for provisioning other hosted machines or hosted machine groups. It performs the following:

• Snapshot: Point-in-time capture of the VM's disk.
• Generalization: Removes machine and user specific information from the VM so that it can be reused.
• Storage in your Azure Compute Gallery: Allows the VM image to be stored and usable by Power Automate services.

This feature provides support for joining hosted machine group bots to both on-premises Active Directory (AD) and Microsoft Entra ID when using custom virtual networks (VNETs).

• A custom virtual network (VNET) is configured using Azure Virtual Network. Access to the domain controller is required from the custom VNET.
  • A custom VNET allows you to access on-premises resources when running your automation.
• Microsoft Entra hybrid join is configured as part of Power Automate network connection setup.
  • Microsoft Entra hybrid allows your hosted machine group bots to enroll in both your on-premises Active Directory (AD) and Microsoft Entra ID.

• Desktop flows have versions. Each time you open a flow, you can make changes and save drafts until you decide to publish it.
• Version history in the flow designer for Power Automate desktop shows who made the changes and when.
• Compare changes between the current version and a previous version or between any two versions you select.
• In the console for Power Automate desktop, the context menu has a version history option. This shows version information in the properties window of the desktop flow.
• Some of this functionality will also be available in the portal.

Copilot in Power Automate for desktop offers an interface that simplifies the automation creation process. With natural language and Power Fx syntax capabilities, you can create desktop flows by providing instructions in natural English language or using Power Fx syntax. This eliminates the need for algorithmic or pseudocode knowledge. With Copilot, you can generate automations with ease, saving valuable time and resources.

The optimize desktop flows with intelligent insights and recommendations feature in Power Automate for desktop is designed to provide users with proactive, intelligent recommendations during the creation of desktop flows. This feature leverages historical flow data, usage patterns, runtime performance, error profiles, and established best practices to offer tailored, context-sensitive insights that can significantly enhance the efficiency and reliability of your automations.

In the Error Avoidance category, this feature helps prevent run-time errors by alerting users to potential issues before they occur. For example, it can warn of data loss prevention (DLP) policy violations that could cause a flow to fail, and it offers workarounds where possible. It also identifies elements that violate flow checker policies and suggests automatic remediations. Furthermore, it detects previous selector failures and self-healing events, recommending users to review or remediate these selectors accordingly. This feature also highlights potential flow timeouts by analyzing past run history, and it offers code-scanning recommendations to avoid pitfalls like infinite loops or uninitialized instances.

In the Error Remediation category, this feature assists in fixing design-time errors that might otherwise go unnoticed. It provides suggestions to complete any missing action properties, including variables, and helps correct syntax errors in Robin or Power Fx. This guidance ensures that flows are logically sound and free from common errors, making the development process smoother and more efficient.

The Code Optimization category focuses on improving the performance and maintainability of desktop flows. This feature suggests more performant or understandable actions, identifies logical shortcomings, and proposes possible solutions. It recommends wrapping actions in try & catch blocks to handle exceptions gracefully. It adds comments or regions for better readability, and breaks large subflows into smaller, more manageable units. These optimizations enhance flow performance and make the code easier to understand and maintain. The AI-powered Copilot facilitates these improvements by providing clear remediation steps and linking to relevant documentation. This empowers you to implement best practices with ease and confidence.
