Best way is to create an update set and make it your current update set, activate your flow, and then export your update set and import to your other instance.

Hi Anjali,

Flows created/updated are trapped in Update set, so you can move them via Update set.

If you want to capture some flows in an update set without updating them, you will need to install the "Add to update set" utility.

Hi @anjali viswanad ,

Flows are stored in the sys_hub_flow table. You can view them by going to instance.service-now.com/sys_hub_flow_list.do?

The flow has a number of different records on different tables that makes moving it outside of an update set or app scope difficult. If you've created it outside of an update set you do have a couple of options for getting it into an update set:

Open a new update set and use the copy flow functionality to create an identical flow that will get captured by the udpate set.
