‍Once all items are entered, click "Test" to check for errors.
If the test is successful, the specified Google Sheets items will be reflected as output.

In this case, since it is a flow to automatically generate a line to connect two widgets, you will need the two widget IDs when setting the details for line creation in step 2.
