In order to make the UiPath platform fully operational at an enterprise level, there are various components that need to be in place. There are three basic components in UiPath:

1. UiPath Studio
2. UiPath Robot
3. UiPath Orchestrator

The UiPath platform is available in two variations:

1. Enterprise Edition: This edition is suitable for large companies starting their RPA projects and looking to scale their Robot deployments in the future. It is integrated with UiPath Orchestrator (we will discuss UiPath Orchestrator later). This version can be updated by visiting the UiPath website and by downloading the newest version of the UiPath platform installer. Running the installer automatically replaces all the old files without modifying any of your settings.
2. Community Edition: This is suitable for individual developers and small organizations with fewer employees. The Community Edition is always up-to-date, and it automatically updates itself as soon as a new version is available.

Now, let us understand all three components in detail.
