Classic and modern design

Hi, i’m new in RPA field i’ve encountered some difficulties switching from morder design to classic design in the current version of Ui path studio. i cannot find the “modern design” button to switch from modern to classic design. I’m litterally not able to use scraping feature (Data scraping and Screen Scraping) and OCR feature because of that. If someone can help me find a way to use the features mentioned above withe the current version of ui path i would be glad.

Hi @patrick_MULU

Classic design is Deprecated in the new update of UiPath Studio. The option to switch from Classic to Modern is grayed off. If you create a new project now, then it will be in Modern design experience by default.

You can use the Classic activities in modern design experience project, but you cannot create a new classic project.

Navigate to activities panel → click on filter → check the classic → Then the classic activities will appear in activities panel.

For Screen Scraping—>App/Web recorder
For Data Scraping–>Table extraction

If you are in very much need to continue your automation in Classic design experience follow the below steps in the below thread to convert the project to classic design experience. This is not an recommended one.

If you want to use Screen Scraping or Data Scraping options you can do the below process:
Open your Project.json file and add the below give line below "fileInfoCollection": ,

 "modernBehavior": false,

Save the json file and reopen your project, you will be able to to see Screen Scraping and Data Scraping option.

If you don’t want these options you can remove that particular line i.e. "modernBehavior": false, from the json file and save the file. Reopen the project again you will project will be in Modern Experience.

Regards
