  title: Microsoft Power Automate Safely Update a Live Flow
  summary: Stop a running flow, update its definition, restart it, and verify the result.
  description: >-
    Updating a live flow's definition while its trigger is armed risks a run
    firing against a half-applied definition. This workflow does it the safe way:
    read the current flow to capture the state to restore, stop the flow, patch
    the definition or display name, start it again, and read it back to confirm
    it returned to the Started state. Every step spells out its request inline so
    the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI
    description.

  summary: Apply a definition change to a running flow with a stop/update/start cycle.
  description: >-
    Captures the flow's current state, deactivates it, applies the update,
    reactivates it, and verifies the flow is running again with the new
    definition in place.

  steps:
  - stepId: readCurrentFlow
    description: >-
      Read the flow before touching it, capturing the current state and
      definition summary so the change can be compared and the prior state
      restored.

      Patch the flow with the new display name and definition. The flow is left
      Stopped by this request; the next step is what brings it back up.

      leaves a production flow deactivated.
