## Find a solution-aware cloud flow
Solution-aware cloud flows can be found either via the **My flows** lists or via **Solutions**.

### Find a solution-aware cloud flow via My flows
### Find a solution-aware cloud flow with 'My flows'

1. In [Power Automate](https://powerautomate.com), select **My flows** from the navigation bar on the left side.
1. Find the flow you want to edit.

>Cloud flows you own are on the **Cloud flows** tab and flows for which you're a co-owner are on the **Shared with me** tab.
The **Shared with me** tab shows the following solution cloud flows.
The **Shared with me** tab shows the following solution cloud flows.

- Flows you co-own.
- Flows that are owned by a Dataverse team in which you are a member.
- Flows that are co-owned by a Dataverse team in which you are a member.
- Flows you co-own.

- Flows that are owned by a Dataverse team in which you're a member.

- Flows that are co-owned by a Dataverse team in which you're a member

If you are the owner of a solution cloud flow, you can always find it on the **Cloud flows** tab. If you have the 'run only' permission to a flow, you will only see that flow on the **My flows** tab if you are an owner or a co-owner too.

### Find a solution-aware cloud flow via Solutions

1. Sign into [Power Automate](https://powerautomate.com), and then select **Solutions** from the navigation bar on the left side.

1. Select the solution that contains the flow you want to edit.

## Find a solution that contains a solution-aware cloud flow

Solution-aware cloud flows have a **Solutions** card in the flow details page that provides a list of the solutions that reference that cloud flow. To open the solution, select the solution name.
Solution-aware cloud flows have a **Solutions** card in the flow details page that provides a list of the solutions that reference that cloud flow. To open the solution, select the solution name.

The **Objects** tab of a solution shows all the solution objects in the solution, such as connection references, environment variables, or child flows that the flow might reference. The **Overview** tab shows the details of the solution, such as the description and status, and provides access to solution actions, such as [export](./export-flow-solution.md).

## Add an existing cloud flow into a solution

1. Sign into [Power Automate](https://powerautomate.com), and then select **Solutions** from the navigation bar on the left side.

1. Select the solution that you want to add a cloud flow into.

1. Select **Add existing** > **Automation** > **Cloud flow**.

Solution-aware cloud flows will be in the **From Dataverse** tab and non-solution cloud flows will be in the **Outside Dataverse** tab.

1. Select the desired cloud flow.

Some non-solution cloud flows can't be added into a solution. To learn more, go to [known limitations](/power-apps/maker/data-platform/solutions-overview#known-limitations).

1. Select **Add**.
