Using Flow Datasets Integrations

This is the Overview of the Flow Dataset Integration feature. After you understand this article, you may also want to get more detailed information from these additional articles:

After uploading using one of Flow's dataset integrations, it will appear in the "Dataset uploaded via API" item within the user interface:

Any uploaded dataset will appear in the UI under Manage Data -> Data upload.

In the example above, the "airports" dataset was uploaded on February 16, and a version is identified for that date.

The Flow can be told to "Keep up with latest version" instead of referencing a specific version of the dataset. Keep the box unchecked if the Flow is used for a presentation where it could be problematic to have data changing outside of the Flow, say you work on it on Friday for a presentation Monday, yet you or someone on your team happens to update the data over the weekend, you might have a surprise in front of your audience with different data. 

On the other hand, you might want the Flow to be continually updated with the latest dataset, like the weather, and you'll want to select the checkbox.
