In our project, we decided to define **manual** xPath for all test objects to make locators more maintainable. However, in some cases, the locator is still deprecated and Katalon cannot find the element.  
We use Katalon Studio Enterprise. Although enabling Self-healing, this feature does not work as expected. So the element is still not found and test case is failed.

Could Self-healing work when test objects are defined manually (without using Katalon Recorder)? If not, are there any other ways to combine self-healing and manual defined test object effectively?

Thank you in advance for you help.
