One of KITE 3.0's nice usability features is the Page Snapshot pane.

For Transaction Perspective scripts, the Page Snapshot can display an actual bitmap image of the screen at each step in the script.  You can display it at actual size (100% magnification) or auto-scale it to fit in the current size of the Page Snapshot pane.

Page Snapshot gives you a visual reminder of what each step in the script is doing, and can help both during script creation/enhancement and when running scripts in KITE to validate transactions during triage.  See this in action in the How To Add Virtual Pages To An Existing Script video in KITE Tutorials.

By default, Page Snapshot will appear alongside the Script Properties Editor and Transaction Performance Summary tabs in the bottom left of KITE:

I personally like to drag the Page Snapshot tab over to the the larger pane where Transaction Performance Details, Measurement Repository and Transaction Events Log are.  Once you do that, you have a much bigger Page Snapshot to look at:

If you need help understanding how to use drag-and-drop to reconfigure KITE's tab interface, have a look at the Working With View Panes section of the  KITE Interface help topic.

The controls at the top of Page Snapshot allow you to:

1. Step to a prior or next action in the script

2. Toggle between "auto-fit" and actual size:

3. Toggle between bitmap (TxP only) and html reconstruction:
