Saved a Working Flow - But Now when I want to edit it, almost everything is gone

Ive been working on this flow for a while now.  And after much testing, I saved it a final time.

Now, I just learned I need to add an extra step in, and went to go edit that flow. 
The edit screen looks different, and its missing all but the first few steps of my flow with a message saying -

AI-powered editing can't be used for this flow yet
This flow won't work with AI-powered editing yet because it:
Contains too many actions


What happened, and how do I get back all of my other steps to this flow?

The first picture is an example of what it used to look like before I added 4 extra steps to the end of each "Condition - Yes"

The Second picture is what I get now when I open that saved flow.

The first picture you have is using the new Power Automate designer. It is still a new feature, and if your workflow exhibits features not yet available in the new designer, it will default back to the classic designer. In your case, it seems you have exceeded the maximum number of actions supported in the new designer.

I have only been using the "default" edit window - which I guess is the designer.  
Weird that it let me do that many steps in the designer, but not open it the same way.

Thanks to your message though, I realized that I can open that last grey "For Each" and the rest of the flow is tucked into that step.

The unfortunate part is that I actually knew going in there SHOULD be a way to reduce the number of steps - but I cant seem to figure out the best way to do that in this case.

You might consider using a Switch condition (on your Josh, Julie, Genny side) instead of your nested condition statements. While I'm not sure if this will technically reduce the number of actions, it should flatten your flow a bit (considering there are also limitations on the number of nested actions), make it a little more performant, and make it easier to add additional cases in the future.

Interesting and thanks!  I'll have to investigate how to use a switch then (Im not sure what your image is really Saying to do).  Im brand new to figuring any of this out.  I only started working on all of this last week.

The part Im sure could be condensed is that, after every successful condition is the following 
Get Task Details
Select
Move File

I tried to put the "get details and select" up above the nested conditions where the Get User info part is, but when I did that - I couldnt get the Move File action to reference the Selected Output as a dynamic attribute.

The only way I could seem to get them to see each other was to put a Get Task Details and Select into each successful condition path.
