It allows our users to record a series of mouse clicks (helpful for dynamic websites), enter text (helpful for yielding search results), and/or add custom crawl delays (to ensure websites fully render before capturing a screenshot). The Product Team introduced our Manual User Actions feature to help users solve a wide range of scenarios.
Option 2: Record + Store Manual User Actions to Get Past Login Screens While this option works for most websites, it does struggle a little with SPA applications (which is why we launched Option 2 – see below!).
