Workflow Template Default Folder Picker

What this helps you do

Select the default destination folder used by a workflow template when the configured flow supports it.

Default Folder picker expanded

Searchable folder selection

Default Folder uses a searchable folder picker. It displays the full folder path and can be cleared.

Subfolders are searchable by name and can be selected when they are returned by the folder search. Do not assume only root folders are selectable.

Why a folder may not appear

A folder may be missing because the search text does not match it, the folder is outside the search scope, the user lacks permission to see or use it, the folder is inactive, or the folder is unavailable in the current configuration.

If only some folders are visible, compare folder permissions, department scope, and whether the folder is a root folder or subfolder. Ask an administrator to check folder availability if the folder exists and permissions look correct.

Upload relationship

The default folder can influence the destination used when documents start from the template, depending on upload configuration. If uploads still go elsewhere, check the upload folder selection, template active/published status, and whether your tenant uses the template default folder in that upload path.
