To make Autopilot use modern activities by default in UiPath Studio (2025.0.157), here’s what you can do:
Check Your Project Settings: • Go to Project Settings → General Tab. • Ensure the Modern Design Experience is enabled. • In the newer versions, this option is usually enabled by default, and you might not see the toggle.
Update Your Activity Packages: Make sure you’re using the latest versions of: • UiPath.Excel.Activities • UiPath.System.Activities You can update them through Manage Packages → Official Feed.
Be Clear with Autopilot Prompts: Autopilot relies heavily on your instructions. Instead of typing: • “Read Range from an Excel file and write to a CSV file.” Try: • “Read Range from an Excel file using modern activities and write to a CSV file using modern activities.”
This small clarification helps Autopilot understand your preference.
Replace Classic Activities Manually (if needed): If Autopilot still generates classic activities: • Swap Read Range (classic) with Excel Read Range (modern). • Replace Write CSV (classic) with Write CSV (modern).
Restart Studio: Sometimes, restarting UiPath Studio can ensure all configurations and updates take effect properly.
Following these steps should guide Autopilot to use modern activities by default.
