Screen Scraping button and wizard?

[OGunnarsson (Ottó Marvin Gunnarsson)]

Feeling a little lost here, i’m running through the RPA Design & Development v4.0 Lab/Practice exercise manual, currently doing 7.1.1 Screen Scraping - Practice 1

Step 12: Click the Screen Scraping button in the Design ribbon and select an
image that contains some text from the search results.
Step 13: From the Screen Scraper Wizard window, choose Tesseract OCR as
the Screen Scraping method and change the Scale to 5

First of all, I see no Screen Scraping byttin within my robbon, and searching for the activites does not lend my with options that allow me to choose the mentioned methood and scaling.

Running out of ideas

Hi @OGunnarsson

If you can’t see screen scrapping on ribbon panel it means it is enabled by use modern for new projects if you disable that you can see the screen scrapping

Steps to disable this :
1.Click on home

2.click on Setting > click on Design

3.Search for use modern for new projects and you can disable that

Note : after disable that you can close and open again you can see the screen scrapping on ribbon

The tutorial you’re looking at is on old versions of things. It’s now the Table Extraction button.

Hi,

Can you try to turn off ModernDesignExperience settings as the following?

1. Open Settings of the project in Project panel
2. Turn off Modern Design Experience in General section

Modern VS Classic, what’s the general pros and cons to thease settings?

Hi,

The following document will help you.

https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/modern-design-experience

And as new features are basically added to Modern design, it’s recommended to use it.
In many case, there are similar successor features. For example preview extraction of Get Text (NGeTExt) instead of ScreenScraping. (But does not support OCR yet)

Modern is greatly improved, more flexible, more reliable. You should definitely be working in modern.

Thank you for your input, I will be having my program set to modern.
