One Sharepoint connection - 3 gateways - 3 connector instances

[metrognome]

Hello, 

can anyone help me decipher this mess?

I seem to have 3 identical (in function) Sharepoint connections. 

The only thing different among them seems to be the gateway as per this picture:

I only use 1 environment with a single solitary account and yet I seem to have 3 identical connections that are used seemingly at random among the dozen of flows and apps I've created.

Given they're all functionally the same:

1. Is there a way to get more info on what's behind those gateways?
2. Can I delete two of them and simply use only one Sharepoint connector (I guess it will break a few apps/flows but I assume I can go through them individually and assign the remaining connection to the "orphan" ones).

Here are the three identical connectors. Their only difference is their date of birth. One is 8 years old, the other is 3 and the third is only 2 months old and (I assume) must have been created without my knowledge when I created a flow within the power app editor (as opposed to creating the flow in power automate and then invoking in within the app).

Hi  @metrognome ,

I have been expermienting the same type of behaviour on a lot of projects I took over. It is related to the automated way power automate is creating a connection.

For example, if you are using a solution as below, you can create a reusable connection reference : 

If you let a flow create a connection everytime, as seen below : 

it will add as many connection as you have flows : 

As you can see it created two new connections : 

You can then click on the detail on each connection and check in which flow is it used : 

Let me know if it helps.

Thank you.

I think we're getting closer. 

I don't quite have as many connections as I have flows but indeed my connections are assigned to various flows and apps at random (in fact, some connectors even list long-deleted apps as using them). And when I click on them I get this weird behaviour:

The thing exists, but can't be edited or deleted but it can be run/played!

I'd be super interested to simply have one common connector like you describe but nowhere on my screen can I get the same selection tree as yours or to find a branch called "objects"

Here's what my PowerAutomate homepage looks like:

OK, now I'm getting somewhere....

It seems we only have a default solution and indeed, there are a couple of flows that under there:

However, these are merely 2 out of dozens.

So I clicked on one of those 2 and got this:

However, the remaining 50-odd flows simply don't even feature this box in their overview screen:

In other words, the more I look into it, the more confused I end 🙂
