New actions and conditions added:
- Convert Image to PDF Now using this action converts multi-paged TIFF files to PDF file.
- If SharePoint Site Exists checks whether a SharePoint site exists at the indicated URL before, for example, creating a new one.
- Get Special List Item Url at Url gets special URLs for the specified list item from any site, such as Edit Form URL, Display Form URL, Full path, and more.
- Set Permissions replaces all existing permissions with new values.
- Change SharePoint Group Settings edits the following values: about me, view or edit membership, allows membership requests, and auto-accepts requests.
