How to Open an Existing Selector in UI Explorer in Studio 2025.10 On-Premises

Help Studio
1

Hello,

we have upgraded to Studio version 2025.10 on-premises, and I can no longer find the “Open in UI Explorer” option in the Selector Editor.

Can anyone tell me how I can open an existing selector in UI Explorer afterwards and modify it?

This specifically concerns the “Extract Table Data” activity. The “Edit Target” option is also missing from its context menu.

Thank you very much.

Hi @michael.pittner ,
In UiPath Studio 2025.10, the classic “Open in UI Explorer” option has been removed from some modern activities, including Extract Table Data. Selector editing is now integrated into the Target/Indicate Element experience.

Try the following:

  • Open the Extract Table Data activity and click Indicate Target on Screen or Edit Extraction to re-capture and modify the target.
  • Check the activity’s Properties panel for Target > Selector and edit the selector directly there.
  • If you need advanced selector analysis, open UI Explorer from Design → UI Explorer and inspect the application manually.
  • Make sure you’re using the latest UI Automation package version compatible with Studio 2025.10.
  • If the selector was created with older packages, re-indicating the target may be required after the upgrade.

Thanks

Hi @michael.pittner

In Studio 2025.10, the “Open in UI Explorer” option is no longer available directly from the Selector Editor.

For the Extract Table Data activity, you can open UI Explorer from Tools → UI Explorer and then indicate/select the existing UI element to inspect and modify its selector.

Also, the “Edit Target” option is not available in the same way as in older Studio versions.

Hello,

In the newer UI Automation experience, the selector can be edited directly from the Target/Selection Options rather than relying on the old context-menu option.

For Extract Table Data, try opening the activity’s target/descriptor and edit the Strict Selector from the Selection Options. The Open in UI Explorer option is available when the selector is valid. You can also launch UI Explorer separately from Studio > Tools and inspect the element there.

Also make sure UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities is installed as a project dependency, as UI Explorer availability depends on the UI Automation package.

Hope this helps.
