Manual Navigation

The Manual Navigation command pauses an agent and allows the end-user to navigate manually in the web browser. When the end-user has finished navigating, he can press a Continue button to continue running the agent. A Manual Navigation command is often used to navigate sections of a website that cannot be automatically processed, such as advanced CAPTCHA pages.

Example

Below screenshot shows the simplest example where the Manual Navigation command can be used.
