Question

"move entry" vs "route entry to folder"?

Seems like in almost all cases, move entry is better because it will create the path if it’s needed, it can use tokens, and copy the entry. But route entry can add or remove tags, send emails, has wait conditions. Seems these should be just combined? They both do mostly the same thing.

So my question is, what should I consider when I need to use one or the other? They're so similar that I don't know when I should use which.

Paul,

You pretty much explained the use case for each activity. If I want to create a copy of a document or shortcut to a document then use the Move Entry activity. If you want to do all of those other options you can either add the individual activities and configure them separately or use the Route Entry To Folder activity and configure them all in one place.

BTW - The Route Entry To Folder activity will accept tokens and create the destination folder structure if it doesn't already exist.
