This is working fine when i run the workflow in my system an excel output gets generated and get saved in the path i mentioned but when i share the app with others i want excel file to get saved in their desktop how to make this saving path flexible.

Hey @Sanjana_HS, you'll want to change the entire 'OutputFile' variable, rather than just the .xlsx part:

Here you can see my Render is set up to output to the 'Community Help' directory:

But when I actually run my app and save to 'Documents' instead:

The location is switched as desired:

Have attached my app for you to look through the settings and such - hope this helps!
