As our users demand more and more functions in RPA Express to respond to the challenges of their business cases, we are striving to fulfill these demands with new releases. But it's not possible to cover all possible use cases with new actions or improvements and enhancements of the available ones. At the same time, most of the cases can be automated with the use of the implemented functions.

The present section is aimed to share such knowledge and experience with the RPA Express users to give some useful hints for solving the automation tasks.
