Why this helps
Deleting a source file can leave an active generated document with no clear owner or context.
- Makes stale outputs easy to identify
- Adds an audit trail for deleted sources
- Reduces accidental reuse of obsolete documents

- 1Connect OneDrive and Docugenerate in Notis once.

- 3Pick the OneDrive Item Deleted trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one disposable source file.
