1. Listing Title

(50 characters max.)

This is one of the most important listing elements. It influences your reach on the Marketplace search results and represents the initial filter for Marketplace Customers when deciding if the listing has the potential to fit their needs. Please check the below best practices to guide you when picking one:

DOs	DON’Ts
The title should have the following structure {Capability} for {Software/System} E.g. Facial Recognition Model for Microsoft Azure When thinking of describing the listing use specific attributes that can help identify its exact purpose. E.g. converter, analyzer, validator, generator, manager If your listing is intended for a specific region include the region abbreviation. E.g. ESP for Spain, JPN for Japan, CA for California, NY for New York, etc.	The title should not start with the name of the software/system where the listing can be used. E.g.

2. Icon/Logo

In this section, you can upload a custom image to be displayed on your listing’s card. The image needs to be representative of your listing’s main idea and should contain simple symbols. On this spot, you can also add your company logo. If you don’t add the listing icon, the default image will be applied.

Image dimensions: 100X100

Release Notes

3. Tags

(20 characters per tag max.)

Indicate up to 5 relevant tags that will help Marketplace Customers find your listing more easily. By tags, we mean terms associated with your listing. They are used in the search box to find listings with similar tags. As a suggestion, try to break tags into single words instead of putting whole phrases. It can simplify the search process.

For example, if your listing is intended to work with GSuite, you can consider adding the following tags: docs, drive, email, Gmail, GSuite.

📘
Note:
If the tags are not provided by you during the submission, our team will add them based on the overall submitted information. However, we strongly believe it’s much more helpful when you add these yourself.

4. Card Summary

(200 characters max.)

Summarize your listing in a short phrase that will best explain what it is about.

DOs	DON’Ts
The summary should have the following structure {Action}{system interaction/what it interacts with}{purpose description} E.g. Validate XMLs against pre-defined schemas., Build attended processes quicker. In one concise sentence, clarify what the listing purpose is. E.g. Image analysis powered by Microsoft's Computer Vision service Be specific about the listing utility or benefits. Include the listing type only if needed. E.g.

9. Paste Video URL

Please add relevant presentation / demo videos to your listing. Make sure they are in YouTube or Vimeo format. Those assets can influence the perception of the audience and increase the trustworthiness of the content even before downloading it.

In order to create high-value video content with few resources, we recommend you use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) as a video recording tool and Descript for creating subtitles (where applicable).

Recommended video formatting settings
Recording resolution	1920x1080
Aspect ratio	16:9
FPS (Frames Per Second)	60 fps

Please check out some tips below:

DOs	DON’Ts
When recording, it is recommended that you use the light theme for UiPath Studio and its activities. Where applicable, make sure your audio is high quality and there are no background noises. Maintain the narration at a normal pace. The video should turn out even better if you are following a script. If the content is lengthy, we recommend inserting an agenda and timing at the beginning of the video. We recommend you have a maximum of a 5-minute video. It should be uploaded on YouTube or Vimeo to ensure easy sharing with your audience. Where applicable, make sure you add subtitles (preferably in English).	Don’t leave your web notifications open when recording or don’t move the cursor very often. This will distract the audience from your main message. Where applicable, don’t use too many keyboard shortcuts, as we want the viewers to understand what the steps of the process are. Where applicable, don’t use your day-to-day desktop view. Make sure you show little to no personal/sensitive information like folders, bookmark bar, taskbar, browser history, etc.
