Configuration

overwrite Replace the destination when something is already there; off by default. | boolean | No | false | — | — |

}See Move or Rename run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Nextcloud connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
