### Build number: 2026.0.189

### What's New

#### Introducing the Source Control panel

Studio now features a dedicated **Source Control** panel, giving you access to all Git-related operations in one place.

The panel includes a **Changes** section that lists all pending file changes. Double-clicking a file opens a diff view tab, allowing you to better understand what changed between versions. You can also commit and push directly from the panel.

The panel also includes a **Graph** section, displaying your repository's commit history as a visual, multi-lane graph. This enables you to easily manage branches and understand the overall history of your project.

To learn more, refer to [The Source Control Panel](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/latest/user-guide/the-source-control-panel).

#### Automatic refresh for external project changes

Studio now automatically detects and updates projects when changes are made outside the application (for example, via **File Explorer**, version control, or scripts). This eliminates the need for manual refresh and keeps your project in sync.

Here are some examples of external changes detected:

* Updates to dependencies in the project.json file.
* Modifications to files and folders in the project directory.
* Changes made through the **Terminal** panel.
* Files or folders added, removed, or renamed.

These updates are immediately reflected in the **Explorer** panel.

Additionally, changes to `.xaml`, `.cs`, and `.txt` files are automatically reflected in the designer. If a file has unsaved changes in Studio and is also modified externally, you are prompted to either save your version or reload the updated file.

### Improvements

#### Coded workflow update

The **UiPath.Coded.Workflow** activity package was enhanced with various improvements and multiple bug fixes. Make sure you add the latest version of the **UiPath.Coded.Workflow** activity package to your projects. 

#### Other improvements

* You can now double-click an **Invoke Workflow File** activity to open the invoked workflow directly in the editor.
* Studio now displays more specific messages when an Integration Service connection is unavailable, helping you quickly identify and resolve the issue.
* Double-clicking an activity that does not contain a scope no longer navigates to the activity when using the **Compact Design Experience** setting. 

### Bug Fixes

* An unexpected "Unable to start execution" error occurred in some projects containing libraries when debugging was paused by a breakpoint.
* Unexpected errors related to ambiguous arguments in the **UiPath.IntelligentOCR.Activities** namespace occurred in some projects that contained the **Extract Document Data** activity.
* Project validation failed for some projects containing activities from the `UiPath.OmniPage.Activities` package.
* The **Project Dependencies Mass Update Tool** caused some published projects to incorrectly reference the runtime packages of updated dependencies regardless of the **Separate Runtime Dependencies** setting.

### What's New

#### Introducing the Terminal panel

The new **Terminal** panel gives you access to a fully-featured terminal in Studio. The terminal starts in the current project folder and enables CLI-driven and AI-assisted use cases directly inside the IDE. This allows you to interact with these tools without leaving your project.

#### New Object Repository option

The **Open File Location** context menu option in the **Object Repository** panel lets you navigate directly to the underlying selector/descriptor file on disk, allowing you to quickly troubleshoot errors. For more information, refer to [Reusing objects and UI libraries](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/latest/user-guide/reusing-objects-ui-libraries).

### Bug Fixes

* You could not rename existing **Object Repository** elements in some projects.
* An unexpected “No error” message appeared in some projects connected to Git when resolving merge conflicts.
* An unexpected "Given name () is not valid" message appeared when configuring a [For Each File/Folder](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/office365-for-each-file-folder) activity in some projects.
* You could not edit previously configured **Switch** activities in some projects after upgrading Studio from version 2024.10.x.
