By running the checker, you will be able to get answers to questions like: which areas of my flow implementation pose a performance or reliability risk?<\/p>\n<p>For each issue identified, the <strong>Flow checker<\/strong> points to specific occurrences within the flow where improvements may be required. And more importantly, you learn how to implement these improvements by following detailed guidance.<\/p>\n<p>To begin, the Flow checker appears in the command bar in the designer and will show a red dot when one or more errors are identified in your flow:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Flow checker in the command bar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/flow-checker-1.png\" style=\"height: 154px; width: 265px;\" title=\"Flow checker in the command bar\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Click this button to open the checker. If there are errors in the flow, the checker opens when you try to save it. Once the checker opens, it shows all <strong>Errors<\/strong> and <strong>Warnings<\/strong> in your flow. Inside each section, the checker calls out the actions where the error occurs:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Flow checker pane open\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/flow-checker-2.png\" style=\"height: 324px; width: 289px;\" title=\"Flow checker pane open\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If additional details are needed to fix an error, you can select the row to receive additional guidance.
