2. Select the corresponding check box for the Robot(s) you want to add.
3. Click Update. The Manage Environments window is closed and your settings are saved.
   Note: You cannot add a Robot to an environment if a process associated with that environment is already deployed on the Robot.

Removing Robots From an Environment
