Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re popping items off a list, Shift List Items is another tool worth trying especially when you need to remove items from the beginning instead of the end. And if you’re cleaning up after popping, Trim List Items ensures the remaining entries are tidy and consistent. It’s a solid combo for list maintenance, queue handling, or managing step-by-step workflows.
