### Example: Uploading a File to the Application

In this example, we explain how to upload a file to the application from a specified path with the given file name, after waiting for the defined duration.

* **Action**: Upload a File
* **Input Value**: C:\Users\Downloads;Sample;2
  * The first argument (**C:\Users\Downloads**) specifies the folder path where the file is located.
  * The second argument (**Sample**) specifies the name of the file to be uploaded.
  * The third argument (**2**) specifies the number of seconds to wait before performing the upload.
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The result of the upload operation is stored in the **{Status}** dynamic variable, with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the file is uploaded successfully.
    * **False**: If the file is not uploaded successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Upload a File** action reads the details from the **Input Value** column (**C:\Users\Downloads;Sample;2**). It locates the file in the specified folder, waits for the defined duration, and uploads the file to the application. The outcome of the upload operation (**True**) is stored in the **{Status}** variable.
