When using the Capture All Elements feature, you can now indicate a specific section of the application you are automating and extract only the elements in that area.

The Capture All Elements feature now only detects the tab in the browser you are indicating, so that toolbars and other additional, unrelated elements displayed in your browser are no longer captured.

A new project setting has been introduced, called Log audit information, which disables any logs generated by the Use Application/Browser activity. Also, the default logging level of the Use Application/Browser activity is now set to Verbose.

You can now switch between the available frameworks when using the Table Extraction Wizard by using the F4 hotkey.
