Quick Start

Our values:

1. Be friendly
2. Be helpful
3. Be considerate

About new topics:

Note: Do not post any sensitive / personal information (or any files that contain it).

Note: Please do not discuss questions related to UiPath Certified Professional exams as it is a security policy violation.

If you want to create a new topic, please follow these simple steps:

1. Search first

Please go here and try a few different phrases that describe your issue. You can add status:solved after your phrase to look for topics that contain a post marked as a solution and wrap your search term in two quotation marks "search phrase" to search for the exact words.

For error messages, this can be a life saver

2. Start your new topic

Once you are sure your question has not been answered before, go to the Forum front page and click the + New Topic button:

This is the button you are looking for

A short New Topic wizard will pop up and help you with the initial decisions:

1. Pick what your topic is about: Help (you are stuck or something is not working), Feedback (you have a bug report or an improvement idea) or Something else
2. Pick the product area you need - the most active ones are marked with a Top badge

The wizard will then open the topic editor with the right category and a base tag already selected for you

(Small note: if you click + New Topic while browsing inside a specific category, the wizard is skipped and the editor opens directly in that category.)

3. Post your topic in the relevant category

For more details, see our category guide here.
If you have doubts, always post in one of the Help sub-categories (the new topic wizard available on the front page should help you out).

You can select your category while creating a new topic

4. Give your topic a clear title and a clear description

Good title should answer two simple questions:
What is happening? and When is it happening?

Click to see an example

Good topic description should give context to the topic title.
If you happen to have some issues with UiPath Software, you should try to provide all the information from this topic.

In every case, a lot of information facilitates fast and accurate answers.

5. Tag your topic with relevant tags

For more details, see our tagging guide.
If you have doubts, leave the tags empty and someone more experienced might help you out later.

You can add your tags like that while creating a new topic

Found a similar topic, but it is closed or already solved?

Please do not post your new question as a reply to an old, solved topic - it can easily be missed there. Instead:

1. On the post that best matches your issue, click the Share button
2. In the share dialog, select + New Topic

This starts a fresh topic that automatically links back to the original post, so everyone gets the full context right away.

Quick FAQ

How long are my posts kept on the Forum?

Indefinitely The Forum acts as a public knowledge base, so topics and their solutions stay around to help future readers. If one of your posts contains something you did not mean to share, flag it with the Something Else flag and tell us what to remove - see our flagging guide.
