The first RPA-specific tool: paste a selector and see what will break it. Plus the two tools that had been marked "Soon" since launch.
New UiPath Selector Inspector — validates selector syntax, flags idx, auto-generated ids, hashed CSS classes, hard-coded titles and URLs and WinForms class hashes, scores stability, suggests a wildcarded version, formats and minifies. Presets for web, Excel, WinForms, SAP and Citrix.
New Hash Generator — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 for text or files, HMAC signatures for webhook and API verification, hex or Base64 output, compare field
New UUID Generator — v4 and time-ordered v7 in bulk, .NET Guid formats, validator that decodes version, variant and timestamp
