Automation Studio 2.13.2

With this update to Automation Studio, we're bringing in changes to the editor layout. Both the left and right sidebars are now collapsible, with the latter automatically hiding when no elements are selected. Documentation fields for Tasks and User Keywords have been inlined, and rename/delete features moved to the left sidebar to improve consistency.

In the preferences menu, there is a new option to select a default browser for creating web locators and recording. Additionally, dozens of bugs reported by users or detected in internal testing have been fixed.
