How to activate a read-only flow

[MongGu]

If I mistakenly deactivate the read-only flow, how can I activate it? 

The buttons for activate are disabled and I cannot change the property of the flow from read-only to none (disabled also). 

For example, from the PDI -> Flow Designer, if I deactivate the flow "Change - Emergency - Authorize," I cannot activate it again since the flow is the read-only.

Thanks for the information. I already tried those two links before but still were not working and not behaving the same. 

Maybe it is impossible for me to activate it again looking at this article: https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-forum/protection-policy-is-set-to-read-only/m-p/19156...

True, no other way.

Hey! I have found one work around that may help you in this situation.

In a PDI (or another instance that may have that flow active), verify that the flow exists and is active on the sys_hub_flow table. Once verified, add the "Add to Update set" utility to your instance (I will attach) 

Once you have that utility commited to your PDI. go to the sys_hub_flow table again and search for that flow.

Select the check box and on the "actions on selected row" drop down select "add to update set"

Then complete the update set. Export it. And import it into your instance that has the broken flow. Commit the update set with the update flow and it should reactivate the flow.

I hope this maybe helps a little bit.
