The Desktop Automation Editor contains the following windows. You can undock and move any of the editor's windows to make editing more convenient.

• Automation Workflow: Contains a workflow of steps as well as variables, expressions, and tree mode settings. Buttons at the top of this window help you navigate the steps of the workflow. You can go forward in the workflow using the Start Execution, Step Into, Step Over, and Step Out buttons; you can also pause or reset the execution of the robot. To select several steps, hold the Crtl key and click the steps.

  Button	Description
  Start Execution	Starts executing the Workflow from the current program point.
  Pause	Pauses Automation Workflow execution.
  Step Into	Executes to the next program point. In case the next program point is inside a collapsed step, this step will be expanded. This is essentially related to single stepping case.
  Step Over	Executes the step immediately following current program point. If there is no such a step, it executes to the next program point.
  Step Out	Executes to the program point immediately following the step containing the current program point.
  Go to Next Iteration	Enabled when the current program point is inside a Loop step. Press the button to execute until the same program point is reached again. The loop can be executed more than once if the program point is skipped in some iterations. If there are no more iterations, the execution stops at the program point outside the Loop step.
  Reset	Resets the execution of the Desktop Automation Workflow.
  Copy	Copies a selected element or elements of the Workflow to the clipboard. For example, several steps or a finder.
  Cut	Cuts selected steps.
  Paste	Pastes the content of the clipboard into the Workflow at the selected element. For example, a program point or a finder.
  Delete	Deletes selected steps.

  Click the plus and minus signs to open and close elements in the Automation Workflow view.

  Button	Description
  Collapse	Collapses all steps and other elements in the Automation Workflow pane.
  Expand	Expands all steps and other elements in the Automation Workflow pane.
  Collapse all but selection	Collapses all steps and other elements except the selected ones.

  Newly inserted steps are not executed unless you click Step Into or Step Over in the Automation Workflow view.

  When you select an element in the view, along with the window coordinates, it shows the coordinates relative to the top left corner of the selected element as well as the path to the element in the bottom bar.

  Note Sometimes it is not possible to select cell elements in tables in the application view. You can select cell elements in the widget tree and add step actions from the tree view.
