Here's an example of how the “BringToFront” activity works –
1. Drag and drop the " BringToFront " activity onto the designer pane and set as
“StartNode.”
a. Double-click the activity.
b. Click on “List Open Apps”.
c. Select the app from the “Open Applications” box.

e. Choose the application you want to close. Here, we select the "Excel"
app.
f. Click on OK.
2. When the application comes into focus, you can choose the respective option

default value of the 'Maximize' option.
