Zip File
Description
Zip File creates standard ZIP archives from one or more source files. Use this step when your workflow needs to compress output files for delivery, archiving, or storage optimization — for example, bundling report files before uploading them to an FTP server or compressing log files before emailing them. It supports options for managing parent folders, overwriting existing archives, and performing post-compression actions on the source files such as moving or deleting them.
