Differences Between Modern Experience and Classic Experience

Recorders

• Modern experience - The App/Web and Computer Vision recorders are available.
• Classic experience - The Basic, Desktop, Web, Image, Native Citrix, and Computer Vision recorders are available.

Activities

A separate set of activities is available by default in each experience.

Regardless of the experience selected for a project, you can also enable the activities that are only available by default in the other experience. Click View Options at the top of the Activities panel, and then select:

• Show Modern to view modern activities in a project that uses the classic experience

• Show Classic to view classic activities in a project that uses the modern experience.

  

The following table lists the activities that are available by default in one experience but not in the other. The UI Automation activities that are not listed in the table are available by default in both experiences.
