Object repository in Studio (v2024.10)

This course will help you to utilize the object repository for storing and managing the selectors or properties of UI elements. This approach allows you to effortlessly create automation workflows without the burden of memorizing or manually coding each element's specifics. As a result, the automation process becomes more straightforward, making it particularly beneficial for beginners in RPA.

This course was originally built using UiPath Studio version 2022.10, with updates reflecting changes in version 2024.10. We recommend using UiPath Studio 2024.10 to fully benefit from the latest features and improvements.

This learning plan is based on the 2024.10 release. If you’re preparing for the 2023.10 certification, make sure to refer to the 2023.10 learning plan instead.
