Complete Changelog

Improvements

Studio Pro

1. Added a new activity “Wait for vanishing” to both desktop and web browser sections. This activity will wait for an indicated element to disappear and then continue the workflow. In the desktop case, the activity waits for the element to disappear from the hierarchy of the elements. In the web browser case, the activity waits for the element to visually disappear on the screen also the element itself may remain hidden.

2. Added a new activity “Get username” to the “Credentials” section. This activity extracts a username from the selected credential in the vault.

3. Added a new activity “Copy to clipboard” to the “Clipboard” section. This activity copies a value that can be obtained in Studio Pro to the clipboard.

4. Other minor improvements:

   1. Workflows are no longer required to be saved before interacting with the “Recognition template” activity.

   2. Hotkeys are no more indicated in brackets in the top menu, they are align to the right.

   3. Optimised the speed of opening a large workflow as well as optimised the reaction on click on a block when working with large workflows.

   4. Excel files can now be read even if they are opened. Previously it would cause an error.

   5. Various performance improvements of Desktop Picker. The operation speed has increased significantly in environments close to the minimum system requirements.

Orchestrator

1. Added auto-logs to Orchestrator. Now Orchestrator can display auto-logs for any workflow. The feature can be enabled on a detail page for a particular workflow. The generated logs can also be saved in a text file.
