# End Console Recording

Stop an active console recording and keep the captured browser logs.

End console recording stops the capture started with [Start console recording](/test-steps/utility/start-console-recording.md). Place it after the journey you wanted to inspect.

## When to use it

* Close a console capture after the logs you care about have appeared.
* Keep the bracket tight so the recording stays focused.
