The following activity illustrates how we use the copy file activity to copy the file from “get attributes technical reference” from the desktop to the documents folder.
Example:
1. Drag and drop the copy file activity from the OS functions.
2. Click on the activity.
3. Enter the path to which the file has to be copied.
4. Enter the path of the file which has to be copied.
5. Execute the workflow.
The bot executes the activity and copies the file from the desktop to the documents folder. Here it is only copying the file, hence the file will still be seen in the desktop.
