Recently our customer migrated from MSOffice 2013 to MS Office 365. Post which, the Uiselectors for the deployed bots are not working. We found that the uiselectors for the Excel menu are changed due to change in Excel version from 2013 to 365. Because of this we have to remap all the selectors for this new excel version (365) again which is really time consuming. Hence, could you please help answering whether we have any alternate solution so that all the uiselectors gets mapped in the new Excel version automatically or otherwise.

Hello @vijaianand_L ! We really advise using Excel/Workbook activities for interaction with Excel files. Please find more documentation here: https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/about-the-excel-activities-pack

These are independent of the version of Excel installed on the machine.
