Unfortunately, it cannot tell you which expected files never arrived. That needs another source of information. Someone has to know that a product needs an inspection record, or that an article&rsquo;s image should have a matching credit line. UnGathered gives those expectations a small, executable form.</p> <p>The first concept is the anchor. It is an existing item selected by a relative glob: products/* for product directories, for instance, or articles/*.md for article files. Each anchor carries the requirements declared for its collection. With a product directory named products/widget, a path rule such as {item}/drawing.pdf expands to products/widget/drawing.pdf. The rule states the relationship rather than searching vaguely for a similar filename.</p>
