Preparing to Upgrade RWM
The RWM application was deprecated with Appian 24.1. The application will no longer be updated or pre-installed for new Appian Cloud sites with Appian RPA enabled.

RWM will be removed in a future release and we encourage customers to use the Operations Console to manage robots instead.

Introduction

As your automation practice grows and evolves, you may want to take advantage of the new features that each release of RWM offers. It's important to understand which application objects can be changed (and which can't be changed) so that your future upgrades go smoothly and minimize any risks or extra effort.

This page describes the customizations you can make in RWM so you have a smooth upgrade process. Ready to upgrade? See Upgrade RWM for specific steps.

Prepare for an upgrade

Each RWM release is published as a release package, which you can download from the Appian AppMarket. See Download and Install RWM for more information.

Until now, to use a new version of RWM, your customizations need to be recreated or merged from the previous version of RWM that was being used. In a coming release, the upgrade process will be much more intuitive and streamlined for certain customizations. However, if you make any changes to RWM that are not allowed (listed below) you may not be able to upgrade or hotfix the solution without losing those changes.

To ensure a smooth upgrade process in the future, we strongly recommend you track your changes and customizations to the app, including updated objects, deleted objects, and new objects.
