Action: Scope

The Scope control allows grouping actions within a specific container/block in the Action Builder, that enables the encapsulation of actions in a set of actions, and specifies which actions should be executed based on the result of the action execution (IsSuccessful, HasFailed). Scope control helps to organize actions, manage the action execution. The main advantage of the Scope control is the handling of the errors within the scope: you can easily set up error handling within the scope in the HasFailed block. That helps to consolidate all errors in one and eliminate the need to set up error handling for each of the actions.

Scope control is available for Modern Forms, List Actions, Automation Actions and Scheduled/Triggered actions as well. 

Example of Scope control configuration on the current site
