### What's New

#### Precondition for manual test cases

You can now add preparatory steps for your manual test cases as preconditions. Preconditions state the actions that must occur before testing starts.

For more information, visit [Adding manual steps to a test case](https://docs.uipath.com/test-suite/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/manual-test-cases#adding-manual-steps-to-a-test-case).

#### New version of the project migration schema

This feature comes with a new schema version for importing or exporting testing projects. The 1.0.1 version of the schema now supports the `Precondition` property in JSON test case files.

This enables you to import or export preconditions with your test cases. For more information, visit [Import project](https://docs.uipath.com/test-suite/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/import-project).
