# Check Address

Check Address compares the current browser URL with what you expect. Use it to prove navigation, redirects, and query parameters landed on the right page.

## When to use it

* Confirm a login redirect returned to the dashboard URL.
* Assert query parameters after a filtered search.
* Prefer a partial match via [Comparison Type](/test-step-options/comparison-type.md) when only part of the URL should stay stable.
