The element visible validation allows you to check whether your element exists and is visible on the page. If your element contains a variable image or text, validation will still work. This validation verifies that the element exists and is visible, but does not check its specific content.

Modifying a Validate element visible step

The Target element options are shown.


- Click Reassign.
