Introducing a new Studio, Robot, and Assistant release cadence for Automation Cloud customers

This release marks the launch of a new Studio, Robot, and Assistant release vehicle that aims to deliver continuous updates with a faster release cadence, ideal for supporting a cloud ecosystem.

The new Studio and Robot installers are available for users with an Enterprise License and can be downloaded from the Resource Center in UiPath Automation Cloud. You can access the Resource Center by clicking the help button and selecting the Downloads menu option in UiPath Automation Cloud.

Key features

• Release cycle - Every two months initially, targeting every two weeks.
• Installers - UiPathStudioCloud.msi and UiPathRobot.msi
• Updates - The latest Enterprise Edition MSI installer will be available in the Resource Center in UiPath Automation Cloud after each Enterprise release, ensuring you can always access the latest version.
• Support - Only the latest cloud version is supported.
• Content - The latest cloud version always contains the latest Studio features and fixes.

Benefits of using the latest version of Studio

• Access to the latest updates and innovative features developed by UiPath
• Reduced IT operations time and costs with Robot and Studio deployments
• Reduced risk of breaking existing automations
• Enhanced Robot, Studio Web, and Studio interoperability
• Streamlined access to preview features, which reduces the need to manually opt in

Robot compatibility

Studio stores the minimum Robot version required to run a project, indicated by the Studio version used for editing or publishing a workflow. This ensures that the current project can only be executed by robots of the same version or higher.

Running a process on an older robot version will result in an error message.

Supported Studio versions

The regular release cadence for the Community and Enterprise LTS releases remains the same. The Enterprise for Automation Cloud customers release aims to deliver the latest features to Enterprise customers in a cloud-like release cycle. This means that the Community and Enterprise for Automation Cloud customers versions are released every two months, and the Enterprise LTS version is released once per year, following the same versioning.

Releases	Timelines
Community	Every two months
Enterprise for Automation Cloud customers	Every two months, one week after Community
Enterprise LTS	Once a year (October)

About the Assistant documentation

To accommodate the new way of releasing Assistant features, we have created two new documentation guides:

1. The Assistant Release Notes guide outlines the changes included in each Assistant Enterprise release.
2. The Assistant user guide provides details on the latest additions to Assistant.

These new guides complement our existing Assistant documentation and are updated with every release cycle.

Tab updates

Several tabs for Marketplace and Automation Store apps in UiPath Assistant have been removed:

• More details tab: Previously available for Marketplace and Automation Store apps, its information has been moved to the main Details tab.

• Update tab: Previously shown when an app received a new version. Now, a banner notifies you if the selected app has an available update.

• Error tab: Previously displayed when the installation or update of an app failed. Now, a banner notifies you of any issues encountered during installation or updates.

Multiple apps support

You can now open multiple UiPath Apps apps simultaneously from Assistant. Previously, opening a new app would close the existing one.

Dynamic resizing of the Assistant window

We have removed the Expand/Collapse button from the toolbar. You can dynamically resize the Assistant window by dragging its edges.
