How to add the widgets manually and default installation path of the widgets?

Widgets are distributed via the Official Feed while custom ones are published to the Orchestrator's Library as a .nupkg file. In both cases, based on the governance policies, they are downloaded and installed in the UiPath Assistant.

The procedure to download a Widget goes through the following steps:

  1. UiPath Assistant reaches out to Automation Ops to fetch the Governance Policy.
  2. The UiPath Assistant looks in the Orchestrator Library Feed for the requested Widget.
  3. If the Widget is not found there, the Official NuGet Feed is used.
  4. If both feeds are allowed, the UiPath Assistant prioritizes the Orchestrator Library Feed over the Official NuGet Feed.
  5. Widget is downloaded and added to the UiPath Assistant.

Note: In order to see a new widget, Quit and restart the UiPath Assistant or sign out and sign back in.

To manually add a Widget to the UiPath Assistant, you need the .js compiled file. If the Widget is already built in a .js file, simply drag and drop it on the UiPath Assistant homepage, else, build the Widget first as per the instructions found in UiPath - Assistant Plugin Creator.
