My first build that wanted to create was really nothing more than a copy of the files in our documentation repository out to network share.

I saw the source directory and then I was stuck I did not know what to do, I read Ben's&nbsp;walk-through&nbsp;and realized that I can use $ and % for auto prompting of variable names and this was very useful.

It might be worth noting that properties page of the actions, to help new user from giving up too early.

Completely agree. We’re going to add something (like an icon or a link etc) to make it clear when you can use expressions, with some basic contextual help.
