Three distinctions that prevent mistakes
An Agent is not a computer. Several Agent Profiles can use a computer, and hosted agents do not require yours.
A reply is not always completed work. Read the result and check the requested file, change, or destination.
A shared location changes who can see information. Check the audience before you attach a file, copy content, or select a Routine's result destination.
