This page includes guides and resources that can help you learn how to create automations using the activities in this package.
Step-by-step guides on how to create automations from scratch. Each tutorial includes a project that you can download and open in UiPath Studio.

|
| Web Browsing | Automate the action of browsing a web page by highlighting and showing the content of all items from the header menu. | |
| Find Images | Identify the number of appearances of the same image under different names. | |
| Click Images | Automate the interaction of a robot with a simple Windows application by manipulating multiple images until creating a pattern. | |
| Trigger and Monitor Events | Monitor user events and trigger different actions by using different hotkeys for opening certain applications. | |
| Create and Override Files | Create a new notepad file, edit it, and save it. | |
| HTML Pages: Extract and Manipulate Information | Automate the action of browsing a web page, extract information and use it for creating a new, local HTML page. | |

| Trigger Scope Example | A sample automation project which monitors the URL attribute of a web browser and, when changed, moves the automation in a Picture-in-Picture session, monitoring user click actions and saving the UI element as a variable. | |
| Working With UI Automation | Copy values from an Excel file and paste them to a desktop application. Then copy the transaction number from the desktop application and paste it to the Excel file. Click a button in the desktop application to submit the data and display a confirmation message. | |
| Extracting Table Data From a Web Page and Editing It in Excel | Extract a table with today's exchange rates for the Euro against other currencies from the European Central Bank website. | |
| Filling Out PDF Forms in Acrobat Reader With Data From Excel | Create an equipment use agreement PDF form for each new employee at a company. |
Preconfigured projects that automate common scenarios. You can use a template as is or you can use it as a starting point for a new project to avoid starting from scratch. Templates are also a good way to learn how to automate.
