Reuse existing browser window in multiple Web elements

[rbaron]

I am using the new version of UiPath and trunning into a problem I didn’t have with the older version.

I have created multiple workflows for the work I want to do on my webpage.
Unfortunately every time I call a new workflow, the browser window closes and re-opens a new instance - that doesn’t work for me as it resets the page.

I have tried ‘indicating the browser window’ by clicking on the already opened session, but now UiPath just does nothing in the browser once the second workflow is called.
I know the workflow is being entered properly because a message box I setup inside tells me so, but UiPath just refuses to do anything.

I do not like how the new containers work and half my time has been trying to get this to work properly, the way the old version used to. ARG!!! #frustrated

Hi @rbaron

Try this

In the above image, if you look at the properties, the Options close: It should be Never if you are opening the browser for the first time.
Option open; should be Always if you are opening the browser for the first time.
Output element: in this field, create a variable so we can use it further in other use/application activities to open the same web page.

Input element : use the variable created in previous Output element to perform further operation on already opnend webpage
Option close : Always
Option open : Never

Hope this might help you
