SharePoint Input tool does not read the new file in each run in the App.

Question

Hi Experts,

I created an Alteryx App to read an .xlsx file from SharePoint location in my Org.

I configured the SharePoint input tool with File Browse interface tool through Action tool.

When I run the Alteryx App and select a new file from SharePoint location(Synced locally), it does not replace the old configured file in the SharePoint input tool.

It reads the old file only for each run.

I attached my WF and the Action tool config screen shot.

Could you please check and let me know what I miss in my configuration to make the App to read the new file each run.

Regards
RVELAN.

Hi @Rvelan12,

Thanks for reaching out to us. I found a user with a similar problem and found that a fresh install resolved the issue. Maybe you can remove the older versions of the SharePoint Input tool and reinstall the latest one. Below is a post where a user did this and was able to resolve a similar issue.

Additionally, we have a SharePoint guide via the link below, which you can check out for help. I have pasted the link for it below, along with some other resources:
