Switch provides you with a lot of flow elements for processing the files that are submitted to Switch.
Some flow elements are always available, because they are included in the Switch Core Engine.
They allow you to perform a number of standard tasks/processes, such as the ones listed
in the table below.
| Processes | Flow element |
|---|---|
| Renaming a job or the files included in a job folder (e.g. to add a prefix or a suffix, replace part of the name with some other string, …) |
|
| Sorting files in a job folder (for example renaming them so that they are sorted alphabetically) |
|
| Combining multiple PDF files into one file for processing, or splitting one file into different PDF files. |
|
| Moving files into a ZIP package, or extracting files from a ZIP file. |

Rename job
Sort files in jobs
Merge PDF
Split PDF
Archive
Unarchive
Just like other flow elements, you can select these elements from the Flow elements pane.
Note: You can combine several processes in one flow. In the example below, the input is first unzipped (using the Unarchive flow element) and afterwards merged into one PDF file (using the Merge PDF flow element).
