Best Practices - Update Maintenance

[gseaman (Gideon Seaman)]

What is UiPath’s recommendation for best practices regarding update frequency for Studio and Bots? Orchestrator?

Hi @gseaman

This is a good question! But it is too broad a topic to answer all so I hope to address Bots only

IMHO, updates to Bots falls into two categories:

1. Adhoc updates due to

• production fixes
• target application/system changes
• unforseen data that bot was not correctly train to handle

2. Scheduled or controlled changes triggered by

• version upgrades
• refactoring the bot for standardization
• new governance rules
• hypercare (post-implementation phase)

There are already also lots of best practices questions and answers. I have listed a few below, please search the forum for more.

The only Thing i was able to find was this link: But some other developers have told me that updating you Studio might result in Problems with the old processes.
