UiPath 2025 February Community Release

UiPath 2025 February Community Release

Studio and StudioX

Long Running Automation template

The Long Running Automation template is now available as a built in template, replacing the Orchestration Process one. You can access it directly from Backstage, without navigating to the Templates page.

The activity package is now called UiPath.FlowchartBuilder.Activities and just like before, you can create a Long Running Workflow from any Process by installing the package and creating a new Long Running Workflow. If you’ve created a Long Running Automation using the BusinessProcess package and you’d like to take advantage of the new functionality, you can install the FlowchartBuilder package and remove the dependency for BusinessProcess.

Import BPMN

You can now generate a Long Running Workflow from a BPMN file from the Autopilot panel. Navigate to the panel, click Generate Long Running Workflow and select the desired file. This will model the BPMN file using the activities available in the Long Running Workflow, allowing you to speed up development and better collaborate with process owners.

Annotations

You are now able to pin annotations to the canvas. From the Context Menu, add an Annotation (or use the shortcut Shift + F2) which will pin it to the canvas. Some of the functionality available:

  • unpin it using the button
  • resize the annotation using the
  • annotations move separately from the activities

Toggle panels

The Show / Hide Panels functionality allows you to customize the layout of your workspace by displaying or hiding specific areas of panels. This feature helps optimize screen space and allows you to bring in focus only the panels relevant to your project.

To Show or Hide a panel, navigate to the top and select the setup you’d like to have. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts below:

  • Left panels Ctrl + B
  • Bottom panels Ctrl + `
  • Right panels Ctrl + Alt + B
  • All panels Ctrl + Alt + Z

Word wrap in Expression Editor

The Word Wrap functionality in the Expression Editor ensures that long expressions automatically wrap to the next line instead of extending beyond the visible area. This should make it easier to view and edit complex expressions without horizontal scrolling.

By default, the functionality is Enabled but you can disable it by clicking on the icon.

Browse Integration Service Connectors Directly in Studio

You can now browse Integration Service Connectors directly from the Manage Packages window in Studio, making it easier to discover and integrate with third-party applications.

  • A new All Connectors tab is available, allowing you to explore and install connectors like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Microsoft 365 without leaving Studio.
  • Once installed, the connector activities appear in the Activities panel under Installed, making integration just a drag-and-drop away.

Try it out and let us know how it improves your workflow! :rocket:

Feedback form

You can now share your email address with us in the Feedback form. This will allow us to reach out in case we need more details to help us troubleshoot (logs, setup) or any additional information regarding your feedback.

Robot

Session behavior

Robot tries to leave the Windows session unaltered, which is optimal in most cases. However, in certain situations, we want to allow users to configure a specific session management behavior. See documentation

We are adding control to this, with the following use options:

  • Default - tries to reuse and restore the session to its initial state, the existing default behavior.
  • Force new session - ensures a clean session each time a job runs, resulting in better job execution reliability.
  • Leave session disconnected - leaves the created/existing session, allowing for faster execution.

Assistant

Maximize button

In version 2024.12, we replaced the collapse/expand button with the ability to resize by dragging the edges. As a small enhancement, we’ve now added a maximize button as well.

Apps in Assistant

We fixed an issue where Assistant was displaying only a limited number of apps - now, all deployed apps are fully visible.

Mobile Automation

Configuration for local CV server

Since last year mobile automation supports the use of Computer Vision in order to identify controls on your mobile screen (see documentation).

So far however, when setting up a local CV server, it was still required to fill in the server address text box with a cloud address as otherwise, an ObjectReferenceNotFound error would be raised.

We have fixed this confusion situation. From now on, when using a local CV server there is no need to fill in the server address field anymore.

Using variables in selectors

While using variables in selectors was supported already, existing variables did not show up in the drop down field of the selector dialog.

We have fixed this issue – available variables can now be selected directly in the dialog.

UI Automation

The UIAutomation v25.2 preview package is not included in the Studio 2025 February Community Release. You will be able to try the new features by adding the UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities package v25.2.0-preview as dependency to your project.

Remote Runtime support for Amazon WorkSpaces

The Remote Runtime support for Amazon WorkSpaces for the PCoIP (PC-over-IP) protocol was released in version 24.10 Oct LTS. With version 25.2 we continued to expand support for Amazon WorkSpaces with the DCV (Desktop Cloud Visualization) protocol.

We now provide this support for both DCV and PCoIP protocols, allowing customers to choose the best option for their use case.

  • Automating Amazon WorkSpaces using PCoIP requires UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities, UiPath Studio and UiPath Remote Runtime v24.10 or higher.

  • Automating Amazon WorkSpaces using DCV requires UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities, UiPath Studio and UiPath Remote Runtime v25.2 or higher.

Similar to the other remote solutions, our extension for Amazon WorkSpaces is composed of a client part and a server part.

  • Client part: The UiPath extension for Amazon Workspaces that can be installed from Studio - Tools - Extensions page or with SetupExtensions.exe.

  • Server part: UiPath Remote Runtime that can communicate with the extension and must be installed with UiPathRemoteRuntime.msi.

Browser Dialog Scope activity

In business process automation, users encounter cases when browser dialogs block the execution of the current browser page. Typically, the user would want to dismiss the browser dialog and also get the dialog message for later use in the business scenario.

JavaScript has three kind of popup boxes: Alert, Confirm, Prompt. Starting with UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities version 25.2 we introduced a Browser Dialog Scope activity to handle this type of dialogs. This activity should be used as a scope for the activities that may generate a browser dialog.

The Browser Dialog Scope activity must be added inside a Use Application/Browser activity and the activities that may trigger the dialog must be placed in the body of the Browser Dialog Scope activity.

For example, this is how the Browser Dialog Scope activity can be configured to handle a Confirm dialog that is triggered when you click a Submit button. When it pops up, the user will chose to click the OK button to proceed.

Default OCR engine

UiPath Studio now lets you set a default OCR engine for any new UIAutomation Scope (Use Application/Browser).

With this new Project Setting, you can predefine your preferred OCR engine, and every new UIAutomation Scope will automatically use it—along with its custom settings configured in the Project Settings panel. This makes automation more consistent and saves time when working with OCR-heavy processes.

Set Value renamed Update UI Element

The Set Value activity has been renamed Update UI Element to better reflect its purpose—allowing you to seamlessly update fields in an application without worrying about selectors. We hope this change makes it more intuitive, especially for users new to semantic automation. Let us know what you think! :rocket:

Clipboard AI

We’re glad to announce our latest update, which focuses on improving the overall stability and performance of our Clipboard AI. This release primarily addresses maintenance issues and fixes bugs to enhance your experience.

Please tell us what you think

Which features excite you the most and you are going to try right away? We want to hear what you think! Please use the A red button labeled "Reply" with a blue left-facing arrow icon. (Captioned by AI) button below :slight_smile:

Wow many cool features :clap:
Looking forward to using word wrap for those extremely long statements :sweat_smile:
And will test out toggle panels for a “full immersion experience” when developing.

It is nice. But can you guys train the Studio to remember size of all pop-up windows, like e.g. Code Editor. Why do we need in 21th century always resize it? :cry:

Cheers

He was banned for violating ToS. This is a completely different account. Definitely not the same person. 100% sure. :wink:

Hi!,

When I run my RPA, the UiPath compiler gives me the following error:

I have all the dependencies added from the manage packages.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Create a separate topic for it as it will not be treated here.
Mention the Studio version, and provide the zip file of your Studio project.

Sorry, I didn’t know where to put the issue you’re giving me.

It won’t let me upload the ZIP file. The UiPath version is 2025.0.161.
