It would be nice if the Card Unavailable card could make it easier to figure out which app/device caused the problem and the function of the card. The “info” tag does give a hint but it’s a real head scratcher to recreate the flow. One idea would be to leave the card as it was but change to color to something like lined out red. A better idea would be to enable the right-click “Replace” to take you back to the original app/device. In my case, the Card Unavailable was caused because the Amazon Alexa lost connection so every card in the flow that used this app went blank. To reconnect I went to the devices to see the bold red exclamation marks. Click on one of the devices, reconnect to Amazon, and all the devices reconnect. Why not make it so the right click on the Card Unavailable card offers the choice to retry which automatically retries the other Card Unavailable cards in the flow? /end rant ![Screenshot 2025-06-20 at 2.02.55 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/9/995006bbd2e5978f0e26dbfcac648a6d29bf14af.png) ---

Yes, it’s a pain in the behind. I freq use notes in flows so I know what is what. But it takes up a lot of space. I now ‘print’ the flow to pdf to be able to recreate a flow if needed… ---

Thanks Johan. I like the print to pdf idea and will start doing that. ---

Don’t give me credits, they go to @SunBeech > [@Propper backup of flows, how?](https://community.homey.app/t/propper-backup-of-flows-how/134097/4): > > I use Chrome’s standard/build in print function. You can select the standard PDF printer provided by Chrome. In the printer settings window you can specify the zoom level. It shows you the zoomed out page as a preview. For large canvases, just zoom out until the complete flow fits the preview and then print it. When opening the PDF you, of course, need to zoom in, but all the details are there (it’s a high quality PDF). ---

Thanks @SunBeech and Johan for sharing your expertise and backup process. I plan to pick it up on this side.
