File Check
Use the File Check action step to check whether a file exists or not. You can evaluate the result using the File Check.Check Succeeded variable and use it in the later stages of the workflow.
Before the process starts, the specified Directory Path is checked against the Allowed Paths. If the Directory Path specified in the action step is not allowed, the workflow is cancelled and an error message displayed.
