Good to know

• Find a card gives one item, with count, the list of cards and the first. When nothing matches, the run goes down When nothing is found instead, with found set to false — see When a Find step finds nothing.
• Find a card reads the board's cards as they are now, so a card made a moment ago is found.
• Archiving is not deleting. Archived › Archive archives a card; Reopen sends it back to the board.
• Labels and members are the board's own. After moving a card to another board, its labels may not exist there.
• Add a label and Add a member change nothing when the card already has that label or person.
• Each item runs the step once. Ten items add ten cards.
