2024.10.5

Release date: 21 October 2024

What's New

New Autopilot™ features

You can now generate workflows from empty sequences by selecting the new Generate with Autopilot button. This creates a new annotation, where you can type in your instructions and select Generate to create your workflow.

Autopilot can also generate activity output variables which are then automatically used in subsequent activities (for example, Autopilot will use the output variable generated for a Create Event activity in the Event field of a Forward Event activity).

The new Autopilot panel makes the development process more accessible and efficient.

The panel allows you to use Autopilot™ to generate workflows from a centralized interface. The panel also improves error handling and troubleshooting by providing AI-based suggestions for resolving workflow errors, including errors identified by Workflow Analyzer rules. Additionally, you can use Autopilot to search the entire UiPath documentation directly from the panel. To learn more, see The Autopilot Panel in the Studio guide.

Improvements

Improved save to the cloud experience

We have made several improvements to the way in which you can manage cloud projects.

When a cloud project is edited in Studio Web, you can only open it in StudioX in read-only mode (the project cannot be opened in edit mode both in Studio Web and StudioX).

StudioX now informs you every time you lose editing access (for example, when the project is edited by someone else or the cloud connection is lost), to avoid possible future conflicts when trying to save the project.

A message in the Designer panel tells you that the project is locked for editing, and an Edit Here button lets you modify the project in StudioX. The editing session then moves to the current StudioX instance. You can also gain editing access to the project when you close the other instance of the project in Studio Web.

You can also gain editing access to the project when you close the other instance of the project in Studio Web.

When a project is saved in a different location on your machine, you now have the option to either unlink the project from the cloud or use the new local path to the project.

Lastly, local and cloud projects are now clearly labeled as such in the StudioX Backstage.

Improved Expression Editor

We have improved the design and functionality of the Expression Editor. Some changes include:

• Fixing line spacing and text alignment.
• Improving the layout of the Fix and Use Variables buttons.
• Adding dedicated Undo and Redo buttons.

Other improvements

• Project validation is now faster.
• You can now add a top level annotation to the main sequence of a project by right-clicking the Designer panel and selecting Annotations > Add Annotation. The main sequence is now hidden by default.
• We have improved the message you see in the Manage Packages window when you select an activities package that is not compatible with your project.
• Several performance improvements have been made to RAM usage.

Breaking Changes

Fatal severity logs appear as Trace logs in the Output panel and are filtered as Trace logs when clicking the Trace button in the panel’s header.

Bug Fixes

After testing some projects using Picture in Picture (PiP), the Run in PiP option was unexpectedly disabled until StudioX was restarted.
