UI Automation Supported Activities
Refer to the table below for the UI Automation activities that are supported when using the Activity Migrator tool.
| Source activity | Destination activity/activities | Known limitations |
|---|---|---|
Activate (UiPath.Core.Activities.Activate) | Window Operation (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NWindowOperation) | |
Attach Browser (UiPath.Core.Activities.BrowserScope) | Use Application/Browser (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NApplicationCard) | If the SearchScope property is set, the migration is not performed. If an expression is used for the BrowserType property, the migration is not performed. |
Attach Window (UiPath.Core.Activities.WindowScope) | Use Application/Browser (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NApplicationCard) | If the SearchScope property is set, the migration is not performed. |
Call Transaction (UiPath.Core.Activities.SAP.CallTransaction) | Call Transaction (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NSAPCallTransaction) | |
Check (UiPath.Core.Activities.Check) | Check/Uncheck (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NCheck) | If the Target property is not set and the activity is outside a scope, the migration is not performed. |
Click (UiPath.Core.Activities.Click) | Click (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NClick) | If the Target property is not set and the activity is outside a scope, the migration is not performed. A classic Click activity using a variable with a null value as the input element results in a click at screen coordinates (0, 0). In contrast, the modern Click activity throws a runtime error in this scenario. |
Click Image (UiPath.Core.Activities.ClickImage) | Click (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NClick) | If the Target property is not set and the activity is outside a scope, the migration is not performed. |
Click OCR Text (UiPath.Core.Activities.ClickOCRText) | Click (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NClick) | If the activity is inside a scope that uses a different OCR engine, an application card is automatically added over the migrated activity to switch the OCR engine. The activity is migrated even if the Target or Input Element is not set, as long as it has a scope parent. If any out argument property on the OCR engine is set, the migration is not performed. |
Click Picture on Screen (UiPath.Core.Activities.SAP.ClickPictureOnScreen) | Click Picture on Screen (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NSAPClickPictureOnScreen) | |

Click Toolbar Button (UiPath.Core.Activities.SAP.ClickToolbarButton) | Click Toolbar Button (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NSAPClickToolbarButton) | |
Close Application (UiPath.Core.Activities.CloseApplication) | Use Application/Browser (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NApplicationCard) | If the Target property is not set and the activity is outside a scope, the migration is not performed. After migration, the Use Application/Browser activity can close applications in more scenarios where Close Application would throw exceptions (e.g. SelectorNotFoundException when app is minimized, ArgumentException when the app is already closed). |
Close Tab (UiPath.Core.Activities.CloseTab) | Navigate Browser (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NNavigateBrowser) | If the activity is outside a scope and does not use an input element, the migration is not performed. |
Close Window (UiPath.Core.Activities.CloseWindow) | Window Operation (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NWindowOperation) | |
Element Exists (UiPath.Core.Activities.UiElementExists) | Check App State (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NCheckAppState) | |

Expand ALV Tree (UiPath.Core.Activities.SAP.ExpandALVTree) | Expand ALV Tree (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NSAPExpandALVTree) | |
Expand Tree (UiPath.Core.Activities.SAP.ExpandTree) | Expand Tree (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NSAPExpandTree) | |
Extract Structured Data (UiPath.Core.Activities.ExtractData) | Extract Data (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NExtractData) | When Continue on error is set to False and Target - Next button is configured for extracting data from multiple pages, the classic Extract Structured Data activity failed after reaching the last page.

Find Element (UiPath.Core.Activities.WaitUiElementAppear) | Check App State (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NCheckAppState) | If the WaitActive property is set, the migration is not performed. This is only supported when migrating to UIAutomation 25.10.29 or later.After migration, the modern Check App State activity will not throw an error when the timeout is reached, the flow continues to the Target Does not Appear branch. |
Find Image (UiPath.Core.Activities.WaitImageAppear) | Check App State (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NCheckAppState) | After migration, the modern Check App State activity will not throw an error when the timeout is reached, the flow continues to the Target Does not Appear branch. |
Find OCR Text Position (UiPath.Core.Activities.FindOCRText) | Check App State (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Activities.NCheckAppState) | If the activity is inside a scope that uses a different OCR engine, an application card is automatically added over the migrated activity to switch the OCR engine.
