We recommend you transition to **[Microsoft Edge](extension-for-chrome.md)** instead. ::: :::important UiPath Inc. and its affiliates, do not process, use, access, or store any customer data when using this product. ::: :::important Starting January 2023, the UiPath Extension for Edge MV2 installed by older versions of `UiPathStudio.msi` will stop working in Edge. We highly recommend upgrading your UiPath Studio and Robot installations before this deadline. See the full timeline for the Edge migration to MV3 extensions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/developer-guide/manifest-v3). The UiPath Extension for Edge MV3 is available in the following `UiPathStudio.msi` versions: * 2022.4.4 * 2021.10.8 * 2020.10.14 * 19.10.9 These can be downloaded from the Resource Center of [UiPath Automation Cloud](https://cloud.uipath.com/). ::: This extension helps you create browser automations in Microsoft Edge. You can install this extension in multiple ways, as shown below: ## Install From UiPath Studio 1. Open Studio. 2. Navigate to **Home** > **Tools** > **UiPath Extensions**. 3. Select **Edge** > **Install**. 4. Open **Edge** and navigate to `edge://extensions`. 5. Enable the **UiPath Web Automation** extension if needed. ## Install From the Studio Installer 1. Run the UiPathStudio.msi installer. 2. Select an install mode, and then select **Advanced Settings** > **Extensions** > **UiPath extension for Edge Chromium**. If Edge is installed on your machine, the option is selected by default. 3. Click **Install**. Studio setup continues while also installing the extension for Edge. The UiPath Extension for Edge can also be installed from the command line of [UiPathStudio.msi](command-line-parameters.md). ![docs image](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/studio/studio-170391-94e9003a.webp) ## Install from the Command Prompt 1. Click the **Windows Start** button and type `cmd` in the search field. 2. Right click on **Command Prompt** and run it as administrator. 3. Change the directory to the UiPath installation folder (cd C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Studio\UiPath). 4. Use the `SetupExtensions.exe/Edge` command to install the extension. A confirmation pop-up is displayed in Edge Chromium. 5. Start (or restart) the Edge browser, so the installation can complete. A new UiPath icon appears in the top right: ![docs image](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/studio/studio-175668-eaa610fb.webp) ## Install From Group Policy You can also install the UiPath Extension for Edge by using Group Policies. This method silently installs the extension and enables it, without requiring user confirmation. ### Offline This installation method requires that the target machine is joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain or Azure Active Directory. It does not require access to the Edge Web Store so it can be used in controlled environments for machines that have restricted Internet access. `UiPathStudio.msi` uses this installation method by default if its requirements are met. You can also use this installation method by running from an elevated command prompt: ```powershell &"C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe" /edge-policy-offline /silent ``` If your organization uses Group Policies for browser extension management then the following changes are also required: 1. In the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensioninstallforcelist) policy, add the value: `ndmegdjihnhfmljjoaiimbipfhodnbgf;file:///C:/ProgramData/UiPath/UiPath.Common/EdgeExtension_SelfHosted/extension_manifest_edge.xml` 2. In the [NativeMessagingAllowlist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#nativemessagingallowlist) policy add the value: `com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2` 3. Set [DeveloperToolsAvailability](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#developertoolsavailability) Group Policy to the value `1` (Allow usage of the Developer Tools) to enable the full extension functionality. For more information, please check the [troubleshooting](microsoft-edge-extension-troubleshooting.md#known-issues-specific-to-mv3-extensions) page. If you need to host the UiPath extension in your internal Web Store you can find the `.crx` file at this location: `C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\BrowserExtension\uipath_extension_for_edge_self_hosted_mv3.crx` ### Online This installation method requires that the target machine has access to the Edge Web Store (`https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx` and `https://msedgeextensions.sf.tlu.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com`). `UiPathStudio.msi` uses this installation method if its requirements are met and the machine is not joined to a Microsoft Active Directory. You can also use this installation method by running from an elevated command prompt: ```powershell &"C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe" /edge-chromium-policyglobal /silent ``` If your organization uses Group Policies for browser extension management then the following changes are also required: 1. In the [ExtensionInstallForcelist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensioninstallforcelist) policy, add the value: `kcgmcmhhfbcacnlnopghneecffhelmhe;https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx` 2. In the [NativeMessagingAllowlist](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#nativemessagingallowlist) policy, add the value: `com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2` 3. Set [DeveloperToolsAvailability](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#developertoolsavailability) Group Policy to the value `1` (Allow usage of the Developer Tools) to enable the full extension functionality. For more information, please check the [troubleshooting](microsoft-edge-extension-troubleshooting.md#known-issues-specific-to-mv3-extensions) page. ## Uninstalling The UiPath Extension for Edge can be uninstalled by running from an elevated command prompt: ```powershell &"C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe" /edge-chromium-cleanup /silent ``` You can also uninstall by opening Studio, navigating to **Tools** > **UiPath Extensions**, and selecting **Edge** > **Uninstall**. ## Edge version requirements The UiPath Extension for Edge MV2 works with all existing Edge versions. The UiPath Extension for Edge MV3 requires Edge version 98 or greater. When using one of the installation methods described above, the browser version will be checked and the extension with the appropriate format (MV2 or MV3) will be automatically installed. ## New extension features ### Support for IE Mode Starting with `UiPathStudio.msi` 2020.10 the UiPath Extension For Edge can be used to automate web pages running in [Internet Explorer mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode). Web pages containing **Java Applets**, **Silverlight** and **ActiveX** controls can be automated in Internet Explorer mode. ### Automating Edge apps Starting with UiPathStudio.msi 2022.4 the UiPath Extension for Edge can be used to automate [Edge Apps](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/install-manage-or-uninstall-apps-in-microsoft-edge-0c156575-a94a-45e4-a54f-3a84846f6113). ## Troubleshooting Your system administrator might have configured **Group Policies** that prevent theExtension for Edge from working. To enable it, please follow the instructions from the [Group Policies page](edge-group-policies.md).
