    • Design tabTabs with key features for project design (e.g., save, run, package management, etc.).
    • Debug tab: Used to detect errors and check intermediate results.
  2. Left panel
    • ProjectsView and manage the folder structure and files in your current workflow.
    • Activities: Workflow components provided by UiPath (conditional statements, loops, etc.).

  3. Central workspace
    • A place to design workflows. Drag and drop activities to design your process.
  4. Right panel
    • PropertiesArea where you can modify the detailed settings (name, conditions, etc.) of the selected activity.
  5. Workflow types
    • Sequence: Great for tasks with a simple flow.
    • Flowchart: Great for dealing with conditional branching and complex logic.
  6. Variables
    • As you build your Activity, you'll use Variables, which is the section where you'll see your variables. You can see the area in the image below.
