# RPA Recorder Overview

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Use RPA Recorder to record business processes.

RPA Recorder enables you to:

- Record actions like mouse clicks, keyboard inputs on your system or on a web browser, and used
  applications

- Add comments and variable information during the recording

- Take screenshots automatically per mouse click, or manually at any time

You can start RPA Recorder directly from RPA Manager in the design phase, as a standalone tool
without server connection, or from RPA Builder.

- If started from RPA Manager, RPA Recorder automatically uploads the recorded BPMN process model
  with the documentation into the server and creates a local PDF with the same information after the
  recording is finished.

- If used without server connection, RPA Recorder creates the BPMN and stores it locally.

- If started from RPA Builder, the workflow or its part is generated automatically. RPA Builder
  creates a local PDF with the same information after the recording is finished.

With all start methods, RPA Recorder also creates an XES file for further processing in process
mining tools.
