Using App Studio
UiPath® Apps is available on the left-hand sidebar of the UiPath® Portal.
The Apps home page is divided into two tabs, Build and Run, which split the existing applications as follows:
- On the Build tab you can
create new apps and search among apps that you can edit.
To edit an app, you need to be the owner or the co-author of that app.
-
On the Run tab you can run and search among:
-
Apps that were deployed to Orchestrator folders where you have View permissions on Apps.
Note:To run published apps, you need to deploy them to an Orchestrator folder.
- Existing published apps that do not belong to any tenant (that is, apps that were published before the introduction of the Apps in folders feature)
- Existing published apps that do not belong to any tenant (that is, apps that were published before the introduction of the Apps in folders feature)
-
The apps displayed in the Run tab are specific to the selected tenant.
Existing published apps that were shared with users or within a tenant can still be accessed by the users with the proper roles. After republishing the app to a tenant, the folder-level permissions take precedence.
- On the Build tab, click the Create new app button.
- Give the new app a name.
-
Click the Create button.
You can select a template for the first page or blank page.
- Click the Add new control
icon from the top of the canvas.
- Click the 'v' icon to expand each control section and locate the control you would like to add.
-
Click and drag the control to the desired location on the canvas.
- Click the Add any
icon from the top of the canvas.
-
Select Page.
The first page in this list is the first page to run when you launch your app. The ordering of subsequent pages doesn't have an impact on runtime, but you can re-arrange them to help keep your app organized. To set another page as the start page you can either:
- Right Click > Set as Start Page
- Or click and drag the page to reorder it
App Studio provides visual presets for many controls to help accelerate your app development, but you can always drill into specific styling properties to customize your app in any way you want.
To change the style of a control:
- Select the control on the canvas
- Select the Style tab in the properties panel
- Change individual styling properties to change the look and feel of your app
For more details about styling, see the Controls Overview

To bind your controls to process inputs or outputs, use their Value Binding field. For more details, see Binding Process Inputs/Outputs Arguments.
Events and Rules control the end-user experience inside of your app. The events available for a control are determined by that control's type. For example, Pages have a 'Loaded' event, while a textbox has a 'Value Changed' event.
To customize interactions within your app:
- Select the control that you would like to add an event to.
- Click the Events tab on the properties pane.
- Choose an event you'd like to customize and click Create Rule.
- Start typing or select a rule from the available list.
For more, see Events and Rules.
You can preview your app at any time during development by clicking the Preview button in the header. Check out the rest of the documentation to learn more about Preview and Publishing.
After you publish the app, you need to deploy it to an Orchestrator folder.
After the introduction of the Apps in folders feature, publishing an app does not display it in UiPath® Assistant. To see newly published apps, first you need to deploy them in an Orchestrator folder. The minimum Assistant version that supports displaying and running deployed apps is 2023.4.4.
Apps published before the introduction of the Apps in folders feature continue to show up in all UiPath® Assistant versions.
