Resubmitted response overrides original response instead of making a new entry

Hi, I have a Microsoft Form that allows respondents to edit their submissions after submitting. Last week when someone resubmitted their response, it created a new entry in the Excel sheet which is what I prefer since it triggered a Power Automate flow. However, I ran it again this week and now it seems to override the original response in the Excel sheet. This does not trigger the flow, which is a big issue. Does anyone know why this might be happening/how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

    Power Automate has never been able to trigger when a previously-submitted form is edited and re-submitted.

      Thanks for your reply! Do you know why it might have worked last week! Or do you have an idea how i can keep track of the original and edited responses?

      Thank you for your reply! Do you know why it might've worked last week? Is there a possibility to have edited answers registered as new responses in order to preserve the original responses?
