Sharing an Action with a "Save As" step

Question

I've created an Action that basically flattens a PSD, resizes it, then saves as a JPEG. I want to share the Action with colleauges so they can batch process a folder full of files. The last step of the Action, however, saves the file to a folder on my Mac. So if someone else runs the Action on their computer, it will return an error.

Is there a way to edit the Action so it still saves as JPEG, but without the file path on my computer? So someone else can use Automate > Batch… and choose their own destintation folder?

Yes the Override Action "Save As" Commands only affects the file location originally recorded in the action.The actual settings for saving the jpeg are not changed.

Although not related to the Batch command, I thought that it was worth mentioning that the Save As step could be re-recorded on each computer if the Action was going to be used outside of Batching. The Action panel menu offers a "Record Again" command or one can just double-click on the Save step to do the same. Another option would be to delete the step and record it again from scratch.
