This tab of the 7-Zip action specifies the output file and the input files to be added or updated.

 

Filename: The name of the compressed file to process (required).

 

Action: The action to perform on the file:

Add always adds any matching files to the compressed file (if the output file does not already exist, it will be created).
Update adds any new files to the compressed file and replaces any existing items that have been modified more recently than their corresponding version in the output file (if the file does not already exist, it is created).
Extract extracts files from the compressed file to the Output folder (or current directory if not specified).
Test tests the archive file.
List lists files in the compressed file.
Delete removes files and/or folders from an existing compressed file.

 

Type: Specifies the type of archive (optional, defaults to 7z format).

 

Include: Specifies the files or wildcards to compress (optional, defaults to files in working directory if not specified).  One or more absolute or relative paths and filenames, with wildcards (* and ?), can be specified, each on a separate line.

 

Exclude: Specifies the files or wildcards to exclude (optional).  One or more absolute or relative paths and filenames, with wildcards (* and ?), can be specified, each on a separate line.

Don't save path information for files in subfolders: If checked, the folder information for recursed folders is not used (applies only when extracting).

 

Working folder: The path to search for files when adding or updating or extract compressed files to when extracting (optional).

 

Password: Password to encrypt or unencrypt the compressed file with (optional).
