# Refresh Browser

This is a pre-built Action located under the **@Browser Element**. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to refresh the current browser, helping verify that the web application functions correctly after a page reload. The result is stored in a dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

## Syntax

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

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>N/A</td><td>Not Applicable</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Output Value**: `<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)`

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional);&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional)</td><td>Both dynamic variable stores the status as <strong>True</strong> or <strong>False</strong>.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Example: Refreshing the Currently Active Browser Window

In this example, we explain how to refresh the currently active browser window using the **Refresh Browser** action.

* **Action**: Refresh Browser
* **Input Value**: N/A
  * This action does not require any input value in the **Input Value** column. It reloads the web page currently open in the active browser window.
* **Output Value**: {Refresh}
  * The result of the refreshing browser is stored in this **{Refresh}** dynamic variable with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the browser is refreshed successfully.
    * **False**: If the browser is not refreshed successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Refresh Browser** action reloads the content of the active browser window to ensure that the latest data is displayed. It performs the equivalent of pressing the browser’s refresh button. After execution, the result of this operation is stored in the **{Refresh}** variable as true.

```

`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.
