### What's new

You are already aware that **UiPath® Task Mining** is an automation opportunity discovery service. It uses a data-driven approach to gain a deeper understanding of existing business processes happening on desktops of employees to identify process improvement areas and automation candidates.

With this release, we've added a new **Task Mining** approach called **Assisted Task Mining(ATM)**.

Here are some of the new features included in this release:

* **Unified Discovery Portal** is the new homepage from where you can access both **Assisted Task Mining** and **Unassisted Task Mining**.
* **Assisted Task Mining** flow is focused on capturing the known process or tasks that could be further optimized. With **Assisted Task Mining**, you capture the multiple variations of processes and get a detailed view of the process.
* **Unassisted Task Mining** allows you to mine unknown tasks by recording your employees’ desktop activities and discovering repetitive tasks suited for automation and process improvement. This is what you already know as **Task Mining** today.
* To improve the user experience, some of the **Task Capture** capabilities have been incorporated in **Assisted Task Mining**.
* A new dedicated recorder is available for **Assisted Task Mining**. For more details, visit the [Recording client overview](https://docs.uipath.com/task-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/recorder-client-overview#recording-client-overview) page.
* The [Merge traces](https://docs.uipath.com/task-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/merge-traces#merge-traces) feature lets you combine all captured traces into one comprehensive task graph. You can do this automatically or via a guided merge, if you wish to cherry-pick the available steps by using [Compare](https://docs.uipath.com/task-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/merge-traces#compare) traces.
* With the [Sharing a project](https://docs.uipath.com/task-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/sharing-a-project) option, you can invite other users to contribute to your current project more easily.
* The [Download](https://docs.uipath.com/task-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/download#download) feature lets you export in compatible formats to work with other applications.
* ML updates: We improved the input signals and model parameters to a more efficient use. As the input got better, we improved screen grouping and task extraction.
* No **AI units** are needed for **Assisted Task Mining**. They are only required to have the Task Mining service enabled for your tenant, to use the product.

With the addition of **ATM**, the Task Mining guide has been changed to have the **ATM** and **UTM** documentation in a single place.
