> November 2026 release notes for Delegate.

## November 12, 2026

Version 1.6.9 is bundled in UiPath Assistant 26.10.0 (Windows and macOS).

### New features

- **Microsoft Access skill (Windows only)**: read tables and queries, export data, and change records after you confirm. Needs Microsoft Access, Access Runtime, or the Access Database Engine.
- **Selectors in task recordings**: recordings save the UiPath selector of each element you click or type into. On Windows, they also save the page address in a browser.
- **Longer task recordings**: a single recording can run for up to 60 minutes.

### Improvements

- **Routines made from Delegate recordings**: you are asked before a routine built from your recording runs for the first time.
- **Delegate scheduled runs that need approval**: you get a notification when a scheduled routine is waiting for your approval.
- **Delegate routine inputs**: the **Run** and **Schedule** forms start empty and show example values as hints.
- **Delegate on the taskbar (Windows only)**: Delegate gets a button and icon of its own, and the Delegate shortcuts open it.
- **Delegate and minimized apps (Windows only)**: tasks set to **In the background** can work with apps that are minimized.
- **Permissions for task recordings (macOS only)**: before recording, the app asks for Input Monitoring and Accessibility to capture your steps, plus Microphone for narration.
- **Security updates**: updates to the app runtime and bundled components clear published security advisories.

### Bug fixes

- **Recording exclusions**: they also cover what you type in excluded apps and websites, and their window titles.
- **Recordings made earlier**: they can hold text typed into excluded apps or websites, and so can anything built from them. Refer to [Recordings](../user-guide/recordings-settings.md).
- **Delegate routines scheduled from chat**: a schedule you ask for in chat is created and runs on time.
- **Delegate chat schedules from earlier versions**: schedules you asked for in chat in earlier versions were not created. Refer to [Scheduling a routine](../user-guide/routines.md#scheduling-a-routine).
- **Delegate Office tasks In the background (macOS only)**: input that Excel, Word, or PowerPoint would misplace or ignore is not sent, and Delegate uses another method.
- **Excel and Word files from earlier versions (macOS only)**: tasks run **In the background** could type into a wrong cell or drop text. Review files they edited.
- **Approving Delegate automation lookups**: in the Cautious approval mode, searching automations and checking a job's status show their approval buttons.
- **Updates while automated apps are open (Windows only)**: updating or uninstalling the Assistant can complete while apps Delegate worked with are still open.
- **Machines without a graphics card (Windows only)**: task recording works on virtual machines and hosted virtual desktops that have no GPU.
- **High processor use**: opening a list of recordings leaves the app idle.
- **Recording microphone set to Default**: narration is captured from the input your system's sound settings select.
- **Screen border during Delegate tasks (macOS only)**: the frame shown while recording or while Delegate works on your screen keeps its corners and bottom edge.
- **Tasks that use the UiPath CLI**: listing Action Apps, solution deployments, and Context Grounding indexes returns results, not an access error or empty list.
- **First-run setup**: typing your role instead of choosing it saves the role, and setup continues.
- Broader stability work: fixes for starting and analyzing recordings, routine input forms, and window loading.
  - **Windows only**: saving routines from background tasks and locating apps during Computer Use.
