Updating UiPath Robot

The update process ensures that both Studio and Robot are upgraded to the latest available version.

Before updating your Robot version, check the compatibility matrix.

When planning for an update, keep the following recommendations in mind:

  • Preserve the Robot operational mode: Service Mode or User Mode.

  • Match Robot and Studio versions. Refer to the compatibility matrix for guidance.

  • UiPathRobot.msi cannot update an older UiPathStudio.msi installation.
Important:

When you have Orchestrator installed on the same machine as the Robot, we recommend updating your Orchestrator version first, followed by the Robot version. To apply the new settings, reconnect the Robot to Orchestrator.
