    Hello,

    The yellow banner in Power Automate shows you’re using a managed flow. This means any changes you make will go into an unmanaged layer. Managed flows are usually set up by someone else and have limits on how you can edit them. When you customize, those changes go to the unmanaged layer. It’s flexible, but it can lead to problems down the road, especially when the original managed flow gets updated.

    You can edit the flow, but be careful. Your changes might mess with future updates. If the flow gets updated later, your edits might get wiped out or cause conflicts. This can be a bigger issue if you’re working in a team or across different setups, as it might create inconsistencies.

    To avoid problems later on, it’s best to be cautious with your customizations or consult with Power Automate developers https://www.hiredynamicsdevelopers.com/hire-power-automate-developer/. If you can, think about making a copy of the flow to work on. You could also look for a way to make safer edits within a controlled solution. If you do decide to make changes, test them in a safe environment first to make sure everything works as expected. This will help you avoid issues while still getting the updates you want.
