`System.Activities.Statements.Pick`

Provides event-based control flow. A **Pick** activity contains one or more [Pick Branch](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/pick-branch) children, each consisting of a **Trigger** activity and an **Action** activity. The first branch whose **Trigger** completes has its **Action** executed; the other branches are canceled.

**Pick** is suited to scenarios where the next step depends on which of several events happens first — for example, waiting on user input versus a timeout.

## Project compatibility
