### Configurable job recording duration

A new **Maximum recording duration (minutes)** field in the **Job recording** section lets you set the maximum video recording duration, pre-filled with your tenant's default and validated against your tenant's limit. Non-entitled cloud tenants remain capped at 3 minutes. Tenants on the Enterprise plan (Unified Pricing) or the Advanced plan (Flex) can set a duration up to 15 minutes. For more information, see [Deploying processes](../user-guide/managing-processes.md).

### Job stop reason visible in Job State History

The **Job state history** timeline now displays the reason a job was stopped, surfacing information Orchestrator already recorded internally but did not previously show. For more information, see [Viewing job details](../user-guide/managing-jobs.md).

### Queue item failures by reason on the per-queue monitoring dashboard

The per-queue monitoring dashboard now includes a **Queue item failures by reason** widget, sourced from Insights real-time monitoring data. Failures are aggregated by failure reason and exception type (**Application** or **Business**), with an inline drill-down to the individual failed queue items for a given reason. This widget replaces the classic **Error Feed** widget where available. For more information, see [Monitoring queues](../user-guide/monitoring-queues.md).

### Early validation when the personal workspace automation limit is reached

When you try to publish a solution to your personal workspace (**Publish for me**) and your entitlement has already been reached, the publish screen now shows an error instead of failing silently. The error links you directly to **Deployments**, where you can delete an existing automation to free up your limit. For more information, see [Personal workspaces](../user-guide/personal-workspaces.md).

### Focus tree toggle in the job graph

In the job details side panel, the graph displayed at the top of the **Details** tab now includes a **Focus tree** toggle when there are more than 10 nodes. Turning it on highlights the direct path from the selected node up to the root node, making it easier to trace a specific job through large graphs. For more information, see [Viewing job details](../user-guide/managing-jobs.md).

### Azure Storage bucket authentication using service-principal connections

Authenticate Azure Storage buckets using Integration Services service-principal connections instead of storage-account access keys. This enables customers' security teams to enforce Entra-based identity and access management policies. For configuration details, see [Managing storage buckets](../user-guide/managing-storage-buckets.md).

### Tenant-level Jobs view: add column parity with folder-level view

The cross-folder Jobs view now includes all columns available in folder-level Jobs views, including Started/Ended (relative and absolute), Creation Time, Source, Priority, Machine, Hostname, User interaction, and Healing Agent status. All added columns default to hidden; enable them via the Columns dropdown. See [Jobs monitoring](../user-guide/jobs-monitoring.md) for details.

### Side panels now overlay primary content

Sidepanels now render on top of primary content instead of pushing it aside. Panels are resizable via a drag handle, with user-chosen width persisting per session. No backdrop is displayed, so interactions with the underlying grid or list continue while the panel is open.

### Debug jobs now display generic Process label

Debug jobs now consistently display the `[Studio Debugging]` Process label regardless of whether they are Desktop or Web session types. This ensures a uniform debugging experience across job types.

### OpenAPI Public profile is now the default

The Orchestrator default API specification is now compliant with the OpenAPI 3.0 specification. The previous specification (V20, based on Swagger 2.0) is deprecated as of this release and will be removed in September 2026.
For more information and the full deprecation timeline, see [Read me](../api-guide/read-me.md).

### Automation Cloud Robots: clearer machine size label

In the **Additional Settings** step of process configuration, the machine size fields for cross-platform processes are renamed for clarity: **Cloud Robot - Serverless** is now **Cloud serverless machine size**. The **Job Priority** selector no longer displays a required-field asterisk that incorrectly marked the field as mandatory. For more information, see [Managing processes](../user-guide/managing-processes.md).

### Process link in job sidepanel

When monitoring jobs, you can now access the parent process directly from the job sidepanel header. Selecting the process link displays the process details within the sidepanel (replacing the job sidepanel), improving navigation efficiency during troubleshooting and monitoring.

### Triggers now support creating in a disabled state

When creating a trigger, you can now optionally disable it at creation time. By default, triggers are enabled and start processing items immediately. You can disable a trigger during creation to complete configuration and testing before activating it. This applies to all trigger types: queue, event, and time triggers.

### Serverless machine auto-assignment

When a tenant is provisioned with a serverless machine, the machine is now automatically assigned to the default modern folder. Previously, the serverless machine was provisioned but required manual assignment to a folder.

For more information, check [About Machines](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/about-machines).

### Improved sidepanel job grid filters

The job grid displayed in the sidepanel context now hides process-type filters (**Type** and **User interaction**) that are not applicable in that context. These filters remain visible in the full jobs grid where they provide value.

For more information on jobs filtering, check the [Jobs monitoring](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/jobs-monitoring) page.

### Bug fixes

* We fixed an issue where webhook secrets were displayed in plain text in the user interface. Webhook secrets are now hidden by default, similar to other sensitive credential fields. For more information, check [About Webhooks](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/about-webhooks).

* We fixed an accessibility issue in the tenant quick actions submenu. Menu items are now navigable using Arrow keys only when a screen reader is active, eliminating the need for mixed Tab and Arrow key combinations.

* We fixed an issue where some package upload events contained corrupted event data with default key values (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000). Event data validation has been improved to prevent malformed events from being recorded.
