# Append Line To Text Step

The Append Line To Text step adds a new line and text you specify to the end of an existing text variable. It then saves the updated text in a new or existing output string variable. Use this step to build multi-line text, log information, or format data.

## How to Use Append Line To Text

Use this step to add text on a new line to an existing string variable.

### Step 1: Add the Step to Your Process

1.  Drag and drop the **Append Line To Text** step into your process workflow.
2.  (Optional) In the step properties, enter a **Step name** to identify this step in your process.

### Step 2: Configure Input Parameters

1.  In the **Source text variable** field, select an existing string variable that contains the text you want to change.
2.  In the **Text to append** field, enter the text you want to add. This text will appear on a new line after the existing source text.

### Step 3: Define the Output Variable

1.  In the **Destination variable with appended text** field, enter the name of a new or existing string variable. This variable will hold the combined text.
