Compare your desktop flow changes

When you commit a change to your repository by running your export pipeline, you can see the differences between two versions of your solutions by going to Azure DevOps.

Compare the desktop flow definition

The desktop flow definition is stored in the Workflow folder in a file with the extension .json.data.xml. From Azure DevOps, you can open the file on the History tab to observe the difference.

New image or control added to the desktop flow

When you add a new image or control to your desktop flow, a new folder is created in the desktopflowbinaries folder. Each image has its own folder with a subfolder containing the screenshot.

The image is stored so you can easily compare which control was removed or added while authoring your desktop flow.
