# Check Value Store

Check Value Store compares a stored [Value](/values/value-store.md) with what you expect. Use it to assert data captured earlier in the Flow without reading the page again.

![Check Value Store Test Step](https://app.does.qa/screenshots/node/check_valueStore.png)

## When to use it

* Confirm an API response stored in the Value Store matches an expected ID or status.
* Reuse captured text from an earlier Store step in a later assertion.
* Pair with [Stop When Value](/test-steps/runner/stop-when-value.md) when the same comparison should end the Test Case early.
