Edit Steps During Recording

Updated by Kashif Hussain

Recording tests can be challenging when every action needs to be perfect. However, we want to make test authoring a seamless experience, allowing you to create as many tests as needed without worrying about misclicks or incorrect flows. To support this, we've introduced the ability to edit your recorded actions in real-time, eliminating the need to switch to offline mode.

Edit Steps in Recording Mode:

  1. While you are recording a test, you will notice the recorded actions showing up on the right-hand section under Automated Tests tab. For each action, you will observe the edit icon on the corner-right as highlighted below:

  1. Simply click on the button for the recorded step you would like to edit. In this case, we will choose to edit the first recorded step. This opens up a new modal to allow you to edit the step as you would in offline edit.
