Hello, I’m having trouble using web recording. It doesn’t save the steps I’ve taken. The web browser I opened doesn’t display a hover when I grab an object.

Katalon offers 3 tools named something like “web recording”.

1. [Katalon Studio, Record web utility](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/record-and-spy/webui-record-and-spy-utilities/record-web-utility-in-katalon-studio)
2. [Katalon Studio, Web Recorder Plus](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/record-and-spy/webui-record-and-spy-utilities/katalon-web-recorder-plus)
3. [Web Recorder](https://katalon.com/katalon-recorder-ide)

Which one are you working on? You should make it clear at first.

A “hover” is NOT recorded. You have to add the command, WebUI.mouseOver(), to your script if you are using Katalon Studio.

Edit: I would also look into the attribute that the element has that you are looking for and add the command, WebUI.verifyElementHasAttribute(), or WebUI.verifyElementAttributeValue(), to verify the expected displayed “hover” comment.
