+# Version control error when publishing a flow or saving it as draft
+
+This article provides troubleshooting guidance for an error you might encounter in Power Automate for desktop when you try to publish a flow or save it as a draft in an environment where [version control](/power-automate/desktop-flows/version-control) is enabled.
+
+## Symptoms
+
+When you try to publish a flow or save it as a draft in an environment where version control is enabled, you receive the following error message:
+
+> You are attempting to do a published update of a component in an unmodified context when there is an unpublished active row.
+
+## Cause
+
+This error might occur in the following scenarios:
+
+- You initially created or edited the flow using a newer version of Power Automate for desktop than the one you are currently running.
+- The newer version of Power Automate for desktop hasn't rolled out or installed yet on your device.
+- You switch from an environment that has version control enabled to an environment that doesn't.
+
+## Resolution
+
+To resolve this issue, follow these guidelines:
+
+- Use the same version of Power Automate for Desktop that you previously used to create or edit the flow, or upgrade to the latest version.
+- If the latest version of Power Automate for Desktop isn’t available yet on your device, wait until it is.
+- Make sure that version control is enabled for all environments where you edit or publish flows.
