Path Manipulation action in Help is outdated.  
  
Am interested in the “Expand Relative Path” but is not documented.  
  
Thanks!

Ok, simple example :   
  
 my input variable has …\test   
  
 base path : c:\temp\blah   
  
 output will be : c:\temp\test   
  
 It’s designed to resolve a path relative to the base path.
