# 7-Zip Archive Action

The **7-Zip Archive Action** node allows you to create a new ZIP archive from selected files or folders.

This node requires a valid path to an existing 7-Zip binary.

The required input parameter is the **Source Path** (the file or directory to be archived). Optionally, a **Destination Path** can be specified to define the absolute path and filename of the resulting `.zip` archive.
