Visual monitoring
Monitor websites for visual changes with pixel-perfect accuracy. Get alerted instantly when any visual element changes on the pages you're tracking.
1. Add New Job
In the upper-right corner of the dashboard, click Add New Job to start setting up a new tracking job.
2. Enter webpage URL
Enter the URL of the page you want to track for visual changes, then click Go.
3. Select area to track
After the page snapshot loads, Visual mode is enabled by default. You can:
- Create a new tracking area by clicking and dragging with the left mouse button.
- Move an area by dragging within its boundary.
- Resize an area by dragging its borders.
4. Configure tracked item settings
Click the settings icon on the right to open the settings panel. Here, you can set the name of the tracked item, enable notifications, and configure the trigger conditions for notifications. If you only care about the latest changes, enable the Compare all history feature to prevent previously alerted changes from triggering duplicate notifications when they reappear.
5. Configure basic settings
- Job Name: Give the job a clear, descriptive name. This helps you easily identify and manage multiple tracked jobs in your dashboard.
- Notification Emails: Specify one or more email addresses to receive alerts when changes are detected.
- Frequency: Define how often Changew should check the selected page for changes. Choose a frequency that aligns with how frequently the monitored content is likely to change.
- Labels: Assign a label to categorize and organize jobs. Labels appear in the dashboard, allowing for quick identification and filtering.
- Tracked Item Name: This name is used to easily differentiate tracked items in notification reports and historical reports.
6. Start monitoring
After configuring all settings, confirm and start monitoring.
