<table><thead><tr><th valign="top">Argument</th><th valign="top">Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional);&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional)</td><td valign="top">This dynamic variable holds the status of the action as <strong>True</strong> or <strong>False</strong>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Example**

**Verifies the selected tab based on the given tab name**

The **Verify selected tab** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **Verify Details**) and verifies whether the specified tab is currently selected in the captured tab element. The result of the verification is stored in the **{Tab Verify}** variable as **True**  ( if the specified tab is selected) or (**False** ) if the tab is not selected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/desktop/tab/verify-selected-tab.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
