## Explanation

The Example Lab project works by using the **Custom** **Merge step**. This step allows for an **HTML file** to be created from a user-customized template. This HTML data is then passed on to the **HTML to PDF step**. This step converts the HTML data created from the email to a **PDF file**. To display this PDF file to the user in the Flow, that PDF file data is then loaded using the **Load File Data step** and passed into the **Document Viewer Form component**. The Form Document Viewer will give the user some basic actions when viewing the PDF file, such as downloading, printing, and rotating the document. Once finished viewing the document, clicking done will complete the Flow.
