## Explanation

The first step, **Create Data** step, has two **file** **dat****a** variables that are set to constant and stores two test files that will be used in this example project. One file is a **CSV** file and other is a **PDF** file. The second step, a Form, displays the original file names and asks user to enter a new file name with the extension. It is important that the file name includes the correct extension. The last step is a **End Form** step. This Form contains two Download elements that allow the user to download the files with the new file names. The **End Form** step inputs are using build data to pull in the file content from the **C****reate Data s**tep and the new file names from the first Form for the file name. When the files are downloaded the new files names will be displayed.
