If you have a document that'll be deployed to different environments, you will want to create a Constant to refer to it. The Doc ID will change between environments, but the constant refers to it by UUID which will remain consistent.

Hi,

The document which I have uploaded is having a document ID.

But, what is I move the document to the higher environments like UAT and PROD. Will the document ID remain same or will it vary.

Harshit's answer is correct - the only relevant thing in play here is the appian Document ID. Paths in the Appian filesystem are purely notional and not at all relevant to downloading, other than for maintaining folder-based security for document access (i.e. a user would have to have at least "viewer" access to the folder a document is stored in, to be able to actually download it).

Document ID in integer or a constant which points to that document.
