Hi Team,
I can see in UiPth there is Web Studio, so is UiPath planning to discontinue Desktop Studio and starting Web Studio.

What is the difference. so shall we start learning from Web or Desktop Studio?

I was trying to use Web Studio, but it looks different, even i had tested with a message box, it did not popup but in logs it shows succeessfully executed.

Kindly help

Studio web is primarily for cross platform to support mac users

studio would not go anywhere or atleast there are no annoucements as such

also windows projects cannot be created on studio web so studio still remains

Also message box is compatible with windows but not cross platform Activities - Message Box

cheers

You must be focused on Studio desktop lately because lot of things happened in recent years which are around Studio Web. Here is quick difference for you to get started.

UiPath Studio Web is a browser-based, no-install platform ideal for API-based, cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) automations and IT tasks, while Studio Desktop is a powerful installed IDE for complex, UI-driven local applications, SAP, and advanced debugging. Both are interoperable, allowing developers to start projects in the cloud and refine them on desktop.

UiPath Studio Web (Cloud)

  • Accessibility: Browser-based; zero local installation required.
  • Best For: API integrations, cloud-based apps, and testing automation.
  • Platform: Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS).
  • Key Strength: Rapid development and deployment, built-in cloud connectivity.

UiPath Studio Desktop

  • Accessibility: Installed desktop application.
  • Best For: Complex UI automation, local applications, legacy systems, and Citrix.
  • Platform: Primarily Windows.
  • Key Strength: Deep automation capabilities, advanced debugging, and local system access.

Key Takeaways

  • Interoperability: You can “Open in Studio Desktop” from Studio Web to continue development.
  • Licensing: Studio Web is available for everyone with no special license needed to start.
  • Unified Development: As of 2026, Studio Web treats projects as part of a “solution” for improved, streamlined lifecycle management.

Not at all. Both are going to stay here at least for now.

You can start with any, for both studios UiPath Academy have the courses

@balkishan

To get the http activity,
go to manage package and install UiPath.WebAPI.Activities after that you can see http activity.

Hi @balkishan,

Studio Web does not mean that UiPath is discontinuing Studio Desktop. They are designed for different automation scenarios.

Studio Web is mainly focused on web, cloud, Microsoft 365, and connector-based automations.
Studio Desktop is still very useful for Windows applications, desktop UI automation, Citrix, and more complex workflows.

If you are learning RPA, I would recommend learning Studio Desktop first to understand the core UiPath concepts, and then exploring Studio Web for cloud and web-based automation.

Regarding the Message Box, Studio Web works differently from Desktop Studio. Some activities may not behave the same way because the execution environment is different. A successful execution in the logs does not always mean you will see a popup on your local desktop.

Hope this helps!
