# Check SessionStorage

Check SessionStorage compares a `sessionStorage` key against what you expect. Use it to verify client side data the application stores for the current browser tab session.

## When to use it

* Confirm a wizard step saved progress in `sessionStorage`.
* Verify session state after login or onboarding.
* Set the key first with [Set SessionStorage](/test-steps/data/set-sessionstorage.md) when the Flow needs a known starting value.
