Click UI not on right instance

Hi, I created an action that creates a new instance of an already open web page and stores it into a variable called 'Browser'. When I add my second action that is a click UI element, I do not have the option to specify the instance this click should be on and therefore it does it on the original web page and not the new one created by the first action. I saw in some youtube videos when ever they add the click option they have 'Web browser instance' box where you could input the instance of where the click will happen. On my action I don't have that option as you will see in the screenshots posted. Is there a fix foe this?

    You are using different action. the PA02 screenshot of a youtuber is using "Click link on web page" and you are using "Click UI element in window".


    Also you cant create browser instance by setting a variable called "Browser". You need to use "Launch new Chrome" (or Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge) -action to have browser instance. Then in Launch mode use Attach to running instance


    So after that you have Browser instance variable that you can use on Browser automation actions


    Remember to use Browser automation actions when automating on web sites.
