Clearing Browser Local Storage to fix Automation Cloud UI issues

How do you clear local storage for UI issues for Automation Cloud?

Issue Description

In some scenarios, the Automation Cloud UI may encounter what looks like a problem with your browser cache and not with the platform or UI itself.

Root Cause

Sometimes, the browser is using an incorrect configuration that is stored in Local storage (since this is where the browser stores information such as permissions and the access token), which is causing a mismatch between the UiPath servers and the browser.

  5. Right-click and select Clear
  6. Refresh the page
  7. Log in again and re-test.
