Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Verify that the SharePoint connection has write permissions to the library.
The correct first check because the most common reason files don't appear after a successful flow run is that the SharePoint connection lacks write permissions to the target library. Option A is incorrect because special characters are not the primary issue here. Option B is not relevant as the flow already runs successfully. Option C is not the first step; checking run history can be done after verifying permissions.
