Hi Rares1055 

 

You can use Scope in Power Automate to validate if filename already exists in library.

      Rares1055 does that flow not work? Assume you don't have the run after set on Create? You can click Create File action ... and Configure Run after, and check the boxes so it runs even if it fails (no file to move). But not sure if that's your only issue here is when files don't exist it fails and won't create?

        Hello, I kinda succeded with this plan, keeping the same file but using revision. Now another problem is that is creating 2 rev. at same time (one creating the file and one updating it with details in columns). Is it possible to avoid the revision when the file is created? I'm interested only on the file with new details.
