File support in UiPath Agents
UiPath Agents now fully support native file handling across agent workflows. This release brings improved visibility, clearer typing, and better traceability for files across runs, tools, and escalations.
The following updates are included in this release:
- The Analyze Attachments built-in tool has been renamed to Analyze files, reflecting broader and more consistent file usage.
- Agent run and trace spans include the attached files, displayed in a dedicated Files tab with direct download support.
- Agent tool input arguments now clearly display file types, making job attachment parameters explicit when agents are used as tools.
- Escalations with file inputs or outputs now display the argument type as file, ensuring correct typing and visibility across escalation flows.
For details, refer to Working with files.
This capability is currently generally available for enterprise customers upon request. For all other customers, the feature remains in preview in its original form.

Canvas is generally available
Canvas, the visual, node-based workspace for building agents, is now generally available and is the default view for agent design. Canvas brings the full power of Agent Builder into an intuitive, low-code environment that makes designing, understanding, and iterating on agent logic faster and more accessible.
With Canvas, you build agents by visually connecting nodes instead of navigating long forms. Select any node to configure models, adjust settings, or update instructions using natural-language prompts. The canvas offers full feature parity with the traditional Form view, now delivered through a more interactive and fluid experience. You can enrich your agent with tools, ground decisions in context, and define escalations for cases that require human judgment. To support confident iteration, the built-in trace panel provides end-to-end visibility into execution paths and lets you run evaluations directly from the bottom panel.
With general availability, Canvas supports Autopilot and includes UI refinements that improve editing clarity and overall navigation.
Canvas is now the most visual and approachable way to build, understand, and refine agents.
For details, refer to Building an agent in Studio Web.
Updates in Agents instance management
Agents instance management now includes a Feedback tab, providing a centralized view for reviewing agent runs and capturing feedback to support continuous improvement.
The Templates tab has been removed from Agents instance management. Templates remain available from the Automation Cloud homepage and the Templates tab in Studio Web.
