Questions about this workflow
Does this search cell values too?
The Search Spreadsheets action supports filters including name, content, and date ranges. State the search clues you have.
Can it prove an asset has no record?
It can report that its search found no matching spreadsheet under the criteria used. That does not prove no record exists under a different name or filter.
