Running suites: Editor Run, Run Panel, Flow View, and reports

The same suite can be executed three ways. Pick by what you are doing right now.

1. RUN FROM THE SUITE EDITOR (while authoring)
Click Run in the Suite Editor. Best while you are building: author 2-3 steps, run, fix, extend. The lower-right log streams every step; the first FAIL line is the real problem.

2. RUN FROM THE RUN PANEL (when the suite is stable)
Open the Run Panel tab, choose the suite (Browse...), and configure the run:
- Browser - Edge or Chrome (whichever driver you imported).
- Headless - run without a visible browser window. Faster, and ideal once a suite is trusted.
- Keep browser open - leave the browser up after the run so you can inspect the final page state.
- Shared session (sign in once) - reuse one signed-in browser session across suites instead of logging in every time.
- Env - select which environment/dataset context the run uses.
Then click Run Suite. Stop halts a run; Clear Log resets the output.

3. OPEN FLOW (when you want to SEE the run)
Click Open Flow from the Suite Editor. The suite renders as a step-by-step visual flow while the same run plays out in the live browser - clicks, typing, waits, branches, loops, assertions, and failures in sequence. This is the best view for demos and for spotting where a long suite diverges.

WHERE THE EVIDENCE LANDS
Every run writes to your local workspace - nothing is uploaded. On Pro, the Reports menu adds the review tooling: Run History (past runs with pass/fail status) and Report Viewer for the run artifacts - HTML evidence a human can read, logs, and JUnit-friendly output your CI dashboard can ingest.

PRACTICAL DEFAULTS
- Authoring: editor Run, visible browser.
- Regression: Run Panel, Headless.
- Investigating a failure: Run Panel with Keep browser open, or Open Flow to watch it happen.
- Suite chains that share a login: Shared session, and run the sign-in suite first.
