## How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the steps.
2. Add the [Microsoft Office 365 Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/microsoft-office-365-scope) activity to your project.
3. Add an activity or run an external process that outputs a `DriveItem` object (e.g., [Find Files and Folders](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/office365-find-files-and-folders), [Create Workbook](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/office365-create-workbook), [Copy Item](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/office365-copy-item)).
4. Add the **Write Cell** activity inside the **Microsoft Office 365 Scope** activity.
5. Enter values for the Input properties.
6. Run the activity.
   * Your input property values are sent to the [UpdateRange](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/range-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http) API.
