Feature details
UI and browser automation in Power Automate for desktop interacts with UI elements. When a UI element is being captured, a selector is being generated that specifies the UI element. You may imagine a selector is the address of the UI element and Power Automate for desktop can locate the UI element during the running of the desktop flow.
The introduction of the syntax highlighter in the display of the selector of a UI element, makes the selector more readable as all elements, attributes, operands, and values are highlighted with different colors. Now, you're able to easily read the selector and perform any changes.
Syntax highlighter is used in both the preview selector window and in the text editor inside the UI element selector window.
