Use Take a Screenshot to keep a PNG record of the page reached during a run. It captures whichever page the automation tab is on at this step, including after Go To Web Page, a For Each Link hop, or Refresh Page.
Chrome can only photograph the tab that is showing. This step switches to that tab and window first. Test uses the same path as a live run.
The file lands under Downloads / folder as host-timestamp.png. The default folder is tab-automation. Change that in Settings (the gear on the masthead), or leave a folder override on this step. Chrome can only write under Downloads — this is a subfolder name, not a full disk path. Chrome may uniquify the name if a file already exists. The image is not stored in Activity or under Values.
The extension needs the downloads permission for this step. Screenshots stay on this computer. If capture fails, Activity records a warning and the rest of the run still finishes.
How to add it
Add Step → Take a Screenshot. The step warns that Chrome must show that tab, and that PNGs land under Downloads. Click Test screenshot to prove the tab can be captured before you rely on a run.
Non-http(s) tabs fail, the same as other page steps.
Not this step
Is not Save value — that stores element text, not an image. Does not crop one element. Does not stitch content below the fold — it captures the visible viewport; place Scroll Page first for content that is off-screen. Does not attach the PNG to Send Alert. Does not write outside Downloads.
