### Perform interactive browser steps
Fill in text boxes, click buttons and more, setup your changedetection scenario.
Using the **Browser Steps** configuration, add basic steps before performing change detection, such as logging into websites, adding a product to a cart, accept cookie logins, entering dates and refining searches.

After **Browser Steps** have been run, then visit the **Visual Selector** tab to refine the content you're interested in.
Requires Playwright to be enabled.
