What happens to local data items when you navigate away from their page?

When navigating away from a page in Blue Prism, local data items are not retained; they are deleted. This behavior is important for managing the scope of data within processes. Local data items are designed to be temporary and exist only within the context of the page they are defined on. When you switch to a different page, the local data items are discarded, freeing up resources and ensuring that data does not persist unintentionally. This is particularly useful for maintaining clean and manageable process designs, as it helps prevent the use of stale data that could lead to errors or unintended consequences.

In contrast, options suggesting permanence or expansion of scope would not align with the intended functionality of local data items, as they are specifically meant for short-term use within a single page or component of the automation workflow.
