I want to back up every FLO that has changed or was created since the previous backup. How can I check if a FLO has changed since the last backup?

There's no official feature to do so, but possible by using the Content query block with Content URI=content://com.llamalab.automate.provider/flows, and Columns=_id,last_modified

Updated the linked flow to check the "last_modified" time stamp as per Henrik's comment so it reduces the number of saves triggered by the content changed block.

Just a note...I think the flow used to work with the content changed block monitoring the flows uri without checking the "last_modified" field every time but now Automate updates the flow table every time the flow editor is exited even if the flow has not changed, probably because the view state is being saved each time.
