# Visible Text

Visible Text finds Elements by the text a user can see on screen. It suits buttons, links, and labels where the wording is predictable and unique.

Use Visible Text when the label is stable and easy to read in the test. When your application exposes dedicated test attributes, prefer [Test ID](/elements/selector-types/test-id.md) so copy changes do not break the Element.

See [Creating Elements](/elements/creating-elements.md) to add a Manual Element with a Visible Text selector.

**Examples:**

* `Add to Basket`
* `Continue`
* `Log in`
* `Forgot password?`
