Key features

New features and updates have been added, as described below.

Repairing flow automation errors is now available (in preview)

A new flow property has now been introduced in preview, allowing you to repair flow errors that are related to missing UI element selectors, when the flow is invoked from the cloud in attended or unattended mode.

Repairing can take place either with a Copilot suggested fix that needs reviewing before approving it, or with a manual repair during the flow run. The property is enabled by default, when you create a new desktop flow. 

This functionality is currently only available in US-based environments for work or school accounts.
