The extension helps you to focus on the actual flow and verify that everything works as expected while running a test. Avoid switching between aqua and the application or website under test, and have all data at your fingertips. :hand\_splayed:\

* Edit the captured data to distil the essentials and define what exact events you need to save;

* Take screenshots of the whole screen or specific areas;
* Transfer captured details to aqua for further reporting. &#x20;
