I pressed a button and now the prompt window is thin and i only see “open” and an “x” and “cancel” which do i press it to get to use it to create my next step?

Have you ever encountered the prompt window while recording automation and wondered about the options like "Open," "Cancel," and how to proceed with your next step? Let's dive into the details to demystify the process.

When you find yourself recording automation and see the tray transform into a concise window with limited options like "Open" and "Cancel," it indicates that you are currently recording a specific step. For instance, if you were recording a click step, the instructions at the bottom guide you through the process. You can perform actions like clicking on Google search and confirming the step, all within the recording mode. During this phase, certain functionalities on the page may be disabled or behave differently to facilitate accurate recording.

To exit this recording mode, you have several options at your disposal. You can either click "Cancel" at the bottom right of the window or use the "Cancel" option provided in the guide. Alternatively, if you wish to proceed and complete the selection, you can click on "Confirm." This action transitions you back to the expected window where you can continue adding subsequent steps seamlessly.

While in the recording mode, interactions with the page may vary, and you might notice limited options like "Confirm," "Reset," or the ability to cancel a particular selection. These functionalities are tailored to enhance your recording experience and ensure precision in each step captured.

By understanding the dynamics of the prompt window and the recording mode in automation, you can navigate through the process with ease and efficiency. Remember, every click and confirmation brings you closer to a perfectly automated sequence.

When you were recording your automation and you see the tray that you had turn into this smaller window that only says open, cancel, um, and doesn't have a lot of information over here, The reason is, is because you're currently recording some type of step. So in this example, I was recording a click step.

So we'll see the instructions at the bottom here, um, telling us how to record this. So I could click Google search for example, and then I could confirm this step. Um, all of this is in this recording mode. Where some things on the page may be disabled, maybe working differently, um, because we're trying to record that step for you.

So if we want to exit this mode, we have a couple different options. We can click cancel from the right down here, or we can click cancel in the guide over here. Um, we could also confirm our step if we wanted to complete the selection. So that would look like clicking confirm here. And then we would be back in the window that we're expecting to be at where we can add steps.

Again, this is where if we were to click something, we enter this recording mode where now we have some instruction, cancel, um, and after we select something, we have a little bit more of an option over here to confirm, reset, uh, or again, cancel that option, that selection.
