Use Save Value to carry element text, a form value, a link address, an image address, or a named attribute into later steps or comparisons. It stores the sample under a name created in the sheet Values section, above Steps.
When the runner reaches this step it samples the element and updates the named value. A missing or invalid selector fails the step and does not overwrite an existing value. A missing href, src, or named attribute also fails the step and does not overwrite. Editor Test samples the value and does not change the stored value.
Captured values persist across links, cycles, Pause/Resume, and Restart until you Remove the automation or start a new one. A starter on the Values name is used only when no value has been saved under that name — Restart keeps a captured value.
How to add it
Declare a name under Values first. Add Step → Save Value. Choose what to read: text or value (the default), text, value, link address, image address, or an attribute. Pick the name, then Pick element to save for the element.
Use the value later as {{name}} in Type Text, mid-flow Go To Web Page, and Download File. If / Else and Wait Until Matches can compare a Saved name without the token.
Limits and related controls
Declare the destination name under Values before adding this step. For a table you can export, use Save Text; for a PNG, use Take a Screenshot. Save Value supplies data to later steps without creating a dataset or image.
