Editing a web application design

When you upload the designs of the web applications that are in the early stages of development, HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) identifies the common UI controls on the application designs. You can review the controls that are identified on the designs and validate them in the design editor. You can then edit the type and label of the identified controls as required on each page.
