NOTES: • This extension will record browser traffic that includes request/response and user actions.

Scope of recording is only for the current “active” tab where the extension is invoked.

No activity is recorded for other tabs even if user switches to those.

• Before starting the recording, it is recommended to logout from the site; disable auto-sign in/ auto-fill from Chrome settings to enable this extension to record all Browser tab activity.

• Analysis of recordings from websites using HTTP/2 is not currently supported by AppScan.

• From Chrome Version 84.0.4147.105 (Official Build) (64-bit) released on July 28th, 2020, you will see the info banner lingering even after the recording is stopped explicitly via the AppScan Activity Recorder icon.

Please note this will not hamper the saved recording or the extension functionality in any way.

Chrome WebStore Dev Support team has confirmed this as an intentional change.

Please click on “Cancel” to dismiss the banner.

• When Extension GPO policy "runtime_blocked_hosts" is set, during the recording of a non-blocked host, if you change the URL to blocked host URL then the final recording will have recording data from both sites.
