I would, where possible, avoid using spied elements and screen interaction for Excel - and instead use code stages such as those in the Excel VBO.  Fri, 22 Jun 2018 12:49:00 GMT NicholasBell1 2018-06-22T12:49:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Excel-2016-vs-Excel-2013/m-p/66439#M19044 Hello, We recently upgraded to office 365/office 2016 from Office 2013. I've noticed a drastic difference in speed of the robot specifically in navigating previously identified elements in Excel after the upgrade. Anyone else experienced this? Is there any changes with the spied elements needed after the upgrade?
