Studio

Studio design experience for cross-platform projects

We’re excited to share a new design experience for sequence-based workflow cross-platform projects. This more modern design experience aims to improve navigation and readability of workflows through line numbering and compact activity designers. Activity properties are visible directly within the canvas, allowing more space for building workflows.

What’s New in the Designer?

Slim activity cards

Activity cards are now compact, helping you see more of your workflow at once—especially larger workflows.

The primary property is visible directly on the canvas, making the workflow more readable at a glance. You can configure all activity properties directly in the Properties Panel.

We’ve also improved the look and feel of annotations, aligning them with the new design.

Line numbers

Each row now displays a line number, which is perfect for navigating, reviewing, and debugging with teammates.

  • Add breakpoints directly from the line numbering
  • Easily expand/collapse containers
  • Highlight selections

Easy to add activities and cases

Adding activities or cases/catches is available on hover, reducing visual noise and unnecessary spacing.

Quality of Life Improvements

Switch Tenants Without Leaving Studio

You can now switch tenants directly from Studio. Whether you’re juggling multiple environments or managing several clients, switching is just a click away.

Search in Orchestrator folders

You can now search for Orchestrator folders when viewing the list in the status bar. The same functionality is available for Git branches.

New Tools to Keep Your Git Projects Clean

First, when you initialize a Git repository directly from Studio, we now auto-generate a .gitignore file that excludes local cache folders. This prevents accidental commits of environment-specific or machine-specific data, which can cause problems for teammates or CI/CD pipelines. The Studio-generated .gitignore helps enforce best practices by default—especially helpful when using external Git tools that don’t filter these folders automatically.

Second, we introduced a Remove Project Cache action under Remove Unused to fix strange behavior that sometimes occurs after cloning a project or switching Studio versions. This feature deletes the project’s cache folders and forces a clean recompile of all activities and dependencies. Use it when activities appear missing, validations fail, or runtime errors like TargetInvocationException occur. It’s a quick way to recover from broken states caused by mismatched cache artifacts—particularly useful after a Git pull, machine switch, or rollback to an older project version.

Find References Panel

You can now resize columns in the Find References panel, allowing you to view longer paths or display names. Not only that, but it fully supports Coded Workflows. This makes it easier to navigate and understand dependencies no matter what flavor of automation you’re working with.

Studio for Citizen Developers

StudioX becomes Studio for Citizen Developers. While the name may be slightly different, it’s the same platform that helps Citizen Developers automate their applications.

You can continue working on your existing projects or create new ones just like before, as the experience remains unchanged.

Assistant

Enhanced Organizational Flexibility

We are pleased to introduce a significant improvement in our system’s versatility. Users can now seamlessly switch not only between tenants but also between organizations. The Assistant will securely store login credentials for up to ten recently accessed organizations, facilitating swift transitions between different organizational environments. This feature aims to streamline workflow and boost productivity for users who frequently work across multiple organizational structures.

Streamlined Access to Studio Web Templates

In response to user feedback, we’ve optimized the discoverability of Studio Web templates. Previously nestled within the comprehensive automation repository, these valuable resources now have a dedicated section. This new, prominent placement serves as a direct gateway to the Studio Web templates page. By elevating the visibility of these templates, we aim to enhance user awareness of their potential while maintaining a clean, intuitive interface that doesn’t require extensive searching.

Agentic Automation Support in Assistant Web

We’re excited to announce a new feature that brings Agentic Automation capabilities directly to Assistant Web. This integration allows you to run Agentic Automations without performing additional steps, streamlining your workflow and expanding AI capabilities at your fingertips.

Please tell us what you think

Is there an option to keep the old activity cards? Not entirely sure if I’m a fan of the slim ones. A lot less clear, in my personal opinion. Love the support for find references for coded workflows, though.

Hi @Roel_Zwakman ,

We don’t currently have an option to switch back to the previous design of the activity cards. I was curious if you managed to use the new experience with the slim activity cards and what your thoughts were surrounding it. Are there specific things we can improve to help make them clearer?

Thanks,
Raluca

Still need to work with it more to see if it’s not “not used to it => bad” rather than actually bad. Will see if I can find some time to work with it more so I can provide more useful feedback!

Thank you very much, @Roel_Zwakman !

I think my main gripe with it is that before, it was much clearer/easier to see different segments of your workflow due to the outlines / differing widths of panels. I could easily toggle/fold/unfold different segments of workflows and intuitively knew which part of a flow I was at, whether I was in a specific part of an if statement or not, whether I was on the element found / element not found bit of a flow.

It feels like the lack of outlines and only using progressive indentation turns the entire workflow into one big blob for me, with less clear segments.

This won’t help with the “muscle memory” aspect of this change, but you can hover the dashed vertical lines to get an overview of the scope you are in.

We were also thinking of adding a “Go to top” button at the bottom of scopes, similar to the ones you can find in Studio Web, do you think that would help you better navigate the workflow?

One question on Agentic automation support in assistant web. If agentic automation requires action task approval in one of the steps will it wait for that approval ? or it will just end the process from assistant where as its still in suspended state on orchestrator.

Hi,
In this context, Assistant Web works like a proxy. It means the whole process logic is the same as if you were to start the Agentic Process via Orchestrator. We just wanted to avoid people jumping back and forth between sites and let run these processes as any other straight from the Assistant :slight_smile:

Will this be compatible with my old .NET Framework UiPath projects?

Amazing UI changes in Studio. It looks attractive and is easy to use.

Hi there!

I’m really impressed with the slick new Studio design—great work! The addition of line numbers is a game-changer for me. It can be challenging to pinpoint exactly where an issue is occurring without clear annotations, so having those numbers right in the editor will make tracing through code and interpreting stack traces so much smoother.

Thanks for continually improving the developer experience—I can’t wait to try out this feature in my next project!

Excuse my ignorance, but when you mention “cross-platform projects,” are you referring to a specific type of project? I installed UiPath Studio Community a few days ago, and I don’t see these new features.

Hi @Matias_Clemente.Arg , to check out the new experience, create a new Process and expand the advanced options section. In there, change the Compatibility to Cross-platform, click Create and you should be good to go :rocket: :

The only thing I have not been a fan of is the new “Data Manager” that is forced upon us now.

I miss my old Variable / Argument panel, which was much more simplistic. Now if I need to change the scope, it’s very cluttered to see exactly where I need to place it. And when I open the scope tab, it doesn’t direct me to the current scope location! This is workable for smaller projects, like in the image below. But becomes cluttered in larger projects.

Is there any intention to bring the new canvas to Windows Projects? Most of the applications we automate give us an error if we try to automate them in Cross Platform projects, so we’re stuck using Windows projects.

Hi @David_Hernandez2 , thank you for your feedback regarding Data Manager. I’ve marked down two improvements for tracking:

  • improve the readability of the scope list, especially in larger workflows that also have nesting
  • highlight/select the current scope location

Are there other improvements that you see would improve your experience with the Data Manager?

Just a heads up, to bring up the Variables panel, you can set the option Show Data Manager panel only to No when you navigate backstage in Settings>Design:

Hi @Mark.Edgeller , yes, we’re planning to bring the new design experience for Windows projects soon.

I’d be interested to learn what issues you are facing with the Cross Platform projects, would you be able to share them with me?
