UI Automation Activities
v25.10
Release date: May 8th, 2025
We are excited to announce that UiPath Healing Agent is now generally available.
Healing Agent offers a robust, flexible, and intelligent approach to handling UI-based automation failures in real-time, with the added benefits of AI-driven recovery, real-time adaptability, and broad application support.
To learn how you can increase efficiency and resilience in your automations, refer to the Healing Agent user guide.
To handle JavaScript browser dialogs (alert, confirm, prompt), we introduced a Browser Dialog Scope activity, both for Windows and Cross-platform projects (including Studio Web).
Besides the new activity, we added dialog handling options to the Use Application/Browser activity. The new Dialog Handling options section in the AppCard allows users to describe how to auto-dismiss browser dialogs:
-
Dismiss Alerts
-
Dismiss Confirms and Confirm dialog response
-
Dismiss Prompts and Prompt response text, Prompt dialog response
We have also added similar project settings for Dialog Handling, working as defaults for the Use Application/Browser Dialog Handling options.
-
Windows projects: UI Automation Modern > Application/Browser
-
Cross-platform projects: UI Automation > Application/Browser
We continued to expand the Remote Runtime support for Amazon WorkSpaces with the DCV (Desktop Cloud Visualization) protocol.
We now provide this support for both DCV and PCoIP protocols, allowing customers to choose the best option for their use case.
-
Automating Amazon WorkSpaces using PCoIP requires UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities, UiPath Studio and UiPath Remote Runtime v24.10 or higher.
-
Automating Amazon WorkSpaces using DCV requires UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities, UiPath Studio and UiPath Remote Runtime v25.2 or higher.
-
Chromium Native signatures have now their standalone package (UiPath.AppSignatures) that can be used to update the signatures for a given Driver, without having to change and retest the entire UI Automation package.
-
We added cross-origin iFrames support for CefSharp widgets. This is available for CefSharp versions v43.0.0 and newer.
-
We enabled Chromium support for:
-
JxBrowser 8.2.1 x64 and x86.
-
JxBrowser 7.41.3 x64 (also used by SAP Java 8.10).
-
-
Select Item now supports custom combo-boxes containing trees in Qt framework apps, such as Tableau.
-
The WEBCTRL TextChanged native event now also triggers for UI elements with editable content.
-
We improved interaction with tables in Kinaxis applications.
-
We have improved support for the DTV Java library.
-
The Click before typing option is now exposed during recording.
-
We removed the
Title
property ofTargetApp
from stored XML serialization.The RT-UIA-001 governance rule in Automation Ops contains a new parameter,CustomMessage
. Whenever a runtime governance rule is triggered, you can show a custom message to the user using this parameter.
-
Activities which require AppCards now automatically add the parent screen in an AppCard.
-
AppCard now attaches exclusively by its defined selector at runtime. Newly created AppCards avoid attaching by fuzzy title or URL.
-
You can now edit the Application path, Application arguments, or Browser URL of a target app in AppCards linked to Object Repository, both from the designer panel and the properties panel.
-
The Get URL activity now supports the WaitforPageLoad property.
-
The WorkingDirectory property was made available in the Use Application/Browser activity.
-
Get Clipboard and Set Clipboard are now available as modern activities.
-
The Type Into activity now supports clipboard-based copy-paste execution through the new Type by clipboard property, which indicates whether the clipboard is used to type the given text.
-
The default Window attach mode (Application instance or Single window) used by newly added Use Application/Browser activities, can now be configured through anew project setting, both for Windows or cross-platform projects.
-
We added support for Log level (Off, Info, Trace) to the following project settings in the Robot Logging section:
-
Log target & anchor search steps
-
Log targeting methods timings
-
-
The WaitForReady property is now exposed in the Selection Helper.
-
When you are in the Selection screen for indicating or editing an UI element, you can now use the PrintScreen key to take a full desktop screen capture and save it to the clipboard.
-
Computer Vision activities now support left/right scrolling.
-
Screen OCR now supports right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic.
We can now set a default OCR engine for newly added UIAutomation Scope (Use Application/Browser activity) through a new project setting in the OCR section: DefaultAppCardOCREngine.
-
Computer Vision can now output a text description of an icon, which you can use as a description for a newly captured object in Object Repository, as well as to rename activities based on pure Computer Vision targets.
-
We improved the 403 error message displayed when the connection to Computer Vision services fails.
-
The Type Into activity now also supports
SecureString
type input in coded workflows. -
The Get Clipboard and Set Clipboard activities can now be used in coded automation.
-
We added the option of passing the target
UiElement
to the injected function for the Inject .NET Code activity.
-
The Set Value activity has been renamed Update UI Element to better reflect its purpose: allows you to seamlessly update fields in an application without worrying about selectors.
-
In Update UI Element, Fill Form and Extract Form Data activities, semantic service requests which fail now display an error message.
-
We added support to select rows in SAP Fiori Tables using the Check/Uncheck activity.
-
We now detect the SAP Scripting Status for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
-
UI elements identification failed for WPF applications that have automation support disabled.
-
We restored runtime support for the class attribute in table/structured data extraction, which was previously available in version 2022.10.
-
Interactive selection failed while screen sharing with Teams.
-
Selectors could not be retrieved when automating Citrix Workspace Applications v2409 or newer, due to the Citrix Desktop process name change.
-
UiPath Robot could no longer communicate with the browser and failed to interact with browser elements on Firefox version 135 or newer.
-
SAP hard timeout failed to trigger on the Select Menu Item activity.
-
Files opened in the designer panel in Studio were erroneously marked as dirty when scrolling.
-
Variable selection failed in situations with a large number of defined variables.
-
The Close Tab activity with Continue on error set to True may still generate errors. The continue on error check was added earlier in the process for browser activities. Note: Most of the classic activities may change behavior if they run with Continue on error set to True and the activity still failed. From now on, they will no longer fail.
Release date: March 25, 2025
We updated the public preview of Healing Agent, our AI-powered capability for intelligent self-healing of UI-based automations. This update brings several additions to Healing Agent:
-
Governance support available through Automation Ops, allowing you to configure policies at the Robot runtime level.
-
Insights, enabling you to monitor and analyze automation reliability based on Healing Agent actions and outcomes.
-
AI Trust Layer control, empowering you to define the level of autonomy in the healing process.
Healing Agent encompasses experiences across UiPath Robots, Orchestrator and Studio. By automatically recognizing changes in application interfaces, Healing Agent enables you to reduce automation downtime and enhance efficiency.
Healing Agent can be enabled for Cloud automations only, and it supports Modern UI Automation activities.
Healing Agent does not depend on the Object Repository capability.
Depending on the features you want to use, Healing Agent requires updates to certain platform components, as explained in the following table:

Release date: December 19, 2024
We are excited to announce the public preview of Healing Agent. The capability includes a set of AI-powered experiences across Robot, Orchestrator, and Studio that reduce automation downtime and enhance efficiency.
Healing Agent is equipped with an intelligent self-healing functionality designed for UI-based automation tasks. Its primary function is to react whenever a change occurs in the application interface or when the UI interference disrupts the automation process. Self-healing is specifically designed to correct these issues, guaranteeing an uninterrupted automation experience.
Furthermore, the self-healing is complementary to the already robust Unified Target fallback method, offering an even more reliable safety net for complex scenarios where automations might fail. Applying one or more recovery strategies, self-healing ensures the automation process runs smoothly.
When there is a hiccup in the automation, Healing Agent steps in and suggests fixes such as new selector recommendations, smart delay additions, or code updates for unexpected pop-ups. It also reviews application interfaces and provides targeted tips to reduce the time spent on debugging or troubleshooting. Ultimately, this new capability aims to solve issues promptly and get the automation system back on track as soon as possible.
Healing Agent supports Modern UI Automation activities and requires UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities package 24.12.3-preview or later, along with Robot 2024.10 or higher, and Studio 2025.0.157 or higher.
