Examples

If you want to test whether a note Hello there.md exists, you’d set this action’s “File Path” parameter to Hello there. This would be followed by a built-in “If” action that checks the result of the “Check For Existence…” block using an is comparison – a positive result means “note exists”, a negative “note doesn’t exist”:
