Use **Type Text** to fill a search box or form field with fixed text or a saved value. You pick the field. Optional **Enter** submits it, but the step does not wait for the next page.

## How to add it

**Add Step** → **Type Text**. **Pick on page** writes the selector. Type the text, or insert a saved name as `{{name}}`. Names come from the sheet [Values](/steps/values) list. [Save value](/steps/save-value) writes the live value the token uses.

If the selector matches many nodes, you can target a specific occurrence.

Use **Wait / Delay** after Type if the next step needs the page to settle. Use **Click Element** for a non-input control.

## Not this step

Does not click a non-input element — that is [Click Element](/steps/click-element). Does not wait for the next page — that is [Wait / Delay](/steps/wait-delay).
