Freeze Tree step is a group step that freezes the application tree refresh in the Recorder View when executing steps in the workflow. While the steps within the Freeze Tree step execute, the application tree is not reloaded. Once the execution flow is outside the Freeze Tree group, the application tree is reloaded. This step can help you greatly increase performance while executing cyclic operations on static windows, such as tables, spreadsheets, forms, and the like.

The Freeze Tree step is not intended for use with the built-in browser. When the Freeze Tree step is used with the built-in browser, the tree is updated when the execution is moving through the Left Click step contained inside the Freeze Tree step. When the Freeze Tree step is used with an automation device, the tree is retained (not updated) when the execution is moving through the Left Click step contained inside the Freeze Tree step.
