Why this helps

- Review the contents of a chosen folder at a glance.
- Make archive checks easier to repeat.
- Spot files that may need a separate follow-up.

Questions about this workflow
How is this different from monitoring an intake folder?
This workflow focuses on taking a regular inventory of a completed-document location, while intake monitoring focuses on files waiting to enter processing.
Does listing the folder tell Notis which files Affinda processed?
No. It lists files in Dropbox. Affinda processing status must be supplied separately if you want that distinction.
