Use environment overrides to customize your project to run in different environments, such as Development, QA, and Production environments.

Environment overrides in v21 replace Configurations in prior versions of Robot Studio but work in much the same way. You can override property values for variables, controls, and match rules at runtime for each environment.You can set values of certain variables and properties at runtime based on the environment you're running.

At runtime, the overrides are applied to the project before the project is run. In the following figure, the Text label for a Windows form in the Test environment is Test Form and in the Production environment it is Production Form.

Use environment overrides to configure different values for different environments, such as Test and Production environments.
