Question

Hi All,

If I save my workflows in a specific network location and it is linked to a file located in another folder on the same Server, would the workflow run? Or do the files the workflows are linking to also need to be saved in the same folder?

Please help.

@RE5260 The workflow should run even though your input file is in another location. Make sure the input tool configured with the full path of the file location

As long as Alteryx has access to the directory where the file is i.e. it isn't locked etc then you can have files sitting in an entirely different location. You'll of course just need to bear this in mind and ensure to update your paths if the document(s) are moved and such! There's a good explainer here on filepaths in case you also want to look into relative/UNC:
