Microsoft Flow Best Practices

Iron Contributor

What are the best practices of Managing Flows in an enterprise enviroonment in terms of:

- restricting who can create flow

- account to use for creating flows

- source control or versioning of flows and how to update Flows that are in production

- documenting Flows?  Do I take snapshots and create word documents around the functionality of the Flow or is there a way to export the Flow into Visio as we do with SPD Workflows?

I'm not sure if Microsoft Flow can be considered currently as an enterprise ready technology...by the way, there is a lack of documentation from Microsoft in the areas you have described
Juan is correct in that Flow is still in Preview and shouldn't be considered ready for 'enterprise' production environments. I do not currently know of documentation or guidance in the areas you are asking about - however you are asking good questions. Stay tuned!
Is there any update on this original query? I would also like to know how to restrict access to Flow?

Hi all, to ensure Flow is used securely in your enterprise, you can setup Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/prevent-data-loss/

Is there any update on this? Specifically, I'd like to understand how to version a Flow that is already in production?
