The currently selected session
The currently selected session is either:
- The original session in which you started recording (if you have not yet clicked the Append recording icon in any session); or
- The session in which you last clicked the Append recording icon.
In the currently selected session, the Append recording icon is disabled, to indicate that the session is the current source of recorded material.
In the currently selected session, the following Macro Manager icons are active: Pause recording, Add a Prompt, Add a Smart Wait, and Add an Extraction. Use these icons as you would normally to pause recording or to add an element.
If the currently selected session is the original session in which
you started recording:
- The Record macro icon is disabled, because you have started recording a macro from that session.
- The Stop recording icon is enabled, because it is always available in the original session to stop the recording.
In contrast, if the currently selected session is not the original
session from which you started the recording:
- The Record macro button is disabled, to prevent you from starting to record a new macro from the currently selected session while the currently selected session is being used to record material for another macro.
- The Stop recording button is disabled, because only the Stop recording button in the original session can stop the recording that began in the original session.
