Exekra Studio Guide
Exekra Studio is a browser-based visual editor for building automation workflows. It uses a canvas-based interface powered by React Flow where users drag activities from a toolbox, connect them with edges, and configure their properties.
Activities
Exekra includes over 50 activities across 17 categories:
| Category | Examples |

| Browser | Open Browser, Navigate, Click Element, Type Text, Get Text, Screenshot |
| Excel | Read Excel, Write Excel, Read/Write Cell, Create Pivot Table, Execute Macro |

Expressions and Variables
Variables store data flowing between activities. Reference variables in any input field using curly braces: {variableName}. The expression editor provides variable suggestions and a multiline editor.
Browser Recording
Click Record in the toolbar, enter a target URL, and interact with the page normally. The extension captures clicks, typing, dropdown selections, and navigation, converting each action into a workflow activity with multi-layered selectors (CSS, XPath, anchors) for reliable replay. Password fields are automatically masked.
Publishing
Click Publish to promote the latest draft. The new version receives an auto-incremented version number and becomes the version used by all triggers and execution requests. Previous versions are retained for audit and rollback.
