What is the step-by-step repetitive process I should replicate? Which buttons exactly do I need to click to complete this? The best way to record your automation is to make sure every click you make is intentional. We shouldn’t be clicking things that don’t need to be done or recording steps that aren’t really part of the process. The less extra steps we have the less chance we have at unneeded errors.
