# Check Address

Check the current browser 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.
