Re-verify explained
Apps change. Re-verify tells you which steps of a guide still match.
How it works
- Open the guide and click Re-verify.
- Open the app the guide is about and sign in if needed.
- Go to the screen for each step when asked, then press ⌥⌘V or click Check this step.
- Freshguide looks for the step's button or field on screen and shows a result.
Re-verify only reads the screen through Accessibility. It never clicks or types for you, and it does not need internet.
Results
| Result | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh | The control was found with the same name and role. | Nothing. |
| Changed | A control was found in the same place, but its name changed (for example “Contact” is now “Customer”). | Accept the new name with one click. |
| Stale | No matching control was found on this screen. | Re-capture just that step. |
| Unverifiable | The step had no readable name to look for, or you skipped it. | Check it by eye, or mark it stale yourself. |
Results are as good as the names the app exposes. In apps that expose few names (some web apps), more steps come out Unverifiable. Re-verify shows which steps changed; it does not prove a guide is correct.
Reminders
In Settings › General, choose how often Freshguide reminds you to check guides: every 30, 60 or 90 days, or never.
