Use Save value to carry element text into later steps or comparisons. It stores the text under a name created in the sheet Values section, above Steps.
When the runner reaches this step it samples the element and writes the live map. A missing or invalid selector fails the step and does not overwrite an existing value. Editor Test samples the value and does not write the live map.
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 seeds the live map only when that key is missing — Restart keeps a captured value.
How to add it
Declare a name under Values first. Add Step → Save value. Pick the name, then Pick on page for the element.
Use the value later as {{name}} in Type Text and mid-flow Go To Web Page. If / Else and Wait Until Matches can compare a Saved name without the token.
Not this step
Is not If / Else (that only compares). Is not Send Alert. Is not Take a Screenshot — that downloads a PNG of the tab, not element text. Declaring names is Values, not this step.
