# Verify element exists

This is a pre-built action available under the **Captured Element** from the **Desktop Application**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to verify the object's existence in the AUT, and save the result in dynamic variable.

### Syntax

**Input Value:** `N/A` 

<table><thead><tr><th valign="top">Argument </th><th valign="top">Description </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">N/A</td><td valign="top">Not Applicable</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Output Value:**

**Example**

**Verifies whether the specified element exists on the screen**

The **Verify element exists** action does not require any input in the Input Value column. It checks if the captured UI element is present on the screen. The result of the existence check is stored in the **{Exists}** variable as **True** ( if the element exists ) or **False** ( if the element does not exist )
