Using the Device Tab

Use the Device tab to view and control the connected device screen.

The Device tab includes screen analysis, basic controls, text input, screenshot capture, app management, and connection refresh features.
Button positions and icons may change by version, so this document explains each feature by purpose.

Use the Device tab to control the screen, and use the UIObject Selector tab to review UIObjects for scenario steps.

For the overall Device panel layout, see Navigating the Stego UI.

When a Local Desktop is connected, the Device tab is unavailable.
For Local Desktop, use the Record tab to control the screen and record scenario steps.

Use screen analysis (AI button) when you need to find UIObjects on the current screen.
