It seems that a [recent update](https://homey.app/en-nl/wiki/homey-web-app-changelog/) of the web app added support for exporting and importing flows.

 ![ChangeLog Web App v1.11.35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/6/0655dfd6bbc1a62ada1169a4c67946fa925f091d.png)

I learned that in the web app, when right clicking an Advanced Flow or Standard Flow and simultaneously holding the ALT key, the context menu gets some additional items:

 ![Web App ALT Context Menu](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/0/208c02079322899df1c916334a33d4752d70f731.png)

The Export option creates an `.homeyadvflow` text file for an Advanced Flow (`.homeystdflow` for a Standard Flow), containing (I assume) the flow definition.

I haven’t been able to determine how you would import this file (restore the flow) in the web app. Anyone any suggestions and/or experience with this functionality?

EDIT - I found it: right clicking the My Flows header when holding ALT brings up an Import Flow option. And it indeed restores the exported flow:
