# Hover Step

## Displaying Elements on Hover

Some elements are implemented to trigger actions like displaying dropdown menus or tooltips when the mouse cursor moves over them. To record this hover action, a slightly different recording method than click or input steps is required.

## Adding a Hover Step

You can add a "Hover Step" following these steps:

1. Move your mouse cursor over the target element.

2. Once the dropdown menu or the tooltip appears, **right-click** (or Ctrl-click on Mac) to open the context menu.
3. Hover over "Autify Recorder" in the context menu, and from the subsequent menu, click "Add Hover step" to save.
