Hi @MitheshBolla ,

Have you tried passing the shortcut hotkeys for save as in the window instead of clicking?

This might help

@MitheshBolla

Use the recorder and record the steps a then find the selector after saving it or use delay f2 to click on the dropdown and wait

Else if the difficult is with not having it visible then manually whatever you do to make it visible we can tey the same steps

Cheers

@MitheshBolla , you can directly pass ctrl+shift+s into the note pad like shown in the snap below:

It will open the save as window

If you need the classic way of clicking save as then you can refer the below workflow:
ClickSaveAs.xaml (15.0 KB)

Have you tried to use the select activity and change in the uiexplorer to apear the dropdown list then you have to indicate as the name in the drop down “Save as”?

If the above steps still do not work, you can try using the “Click OCR Text” activity instead of the “Click” activity to click on the “Save As” option. OCR Text is a reliable way to identify elements even if they are not visible on the screen.
