# Check Enabled

Check Enabled confirms the [Element](/elements/creating-elements.md) is active and accepts input. Use it when a control should unlock after validation or loading finishes.

See [Element states](/test-step-options/element-states.md) for how Enabled relates to Disabled and Clickable.

## When to use it

* Confirm a submit button unlocked after required fields are filled.
* Verify a field is editable before [Set value](/test-steps/action/set-value.md).
* Pair with [Check Disabled](/test-steps/check/check-disabled.md) on the branch where the control should stay locked.
