Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow know the correct click coordinates?
The instruction should identify the page and target. Mouse Click uses coordinates, so ensure the desired target is clear in the browser context.
Can it submit or grade work?
This workflow only uses a click action. Do not instruct it to submit or grade unless that is an intentional action you want.
