Tips
- The grid preserves spatial layout — elements near each other on screen are near each other in text
- After clicking a link or submitting a form, you get the new page's grid automatically
- Use
snapshot()if you need to re-read the page after waiting for dynamic content - For multi-step forms, fill fields then click the Next/Submit button
- Scroll down if you don't see what you're looking for — the initial view shows only the viewport
