Use Scout to walk a site and inspect errors

Microsoft Scout can open a browser, complete form flows, and surface console or network issues while you watch sensitive steps.

Done with Microsoft Scoutยท Beginner

What they did
A tutorial showed how Microsoft Scout runs its own Playwright browser session from a plain-language request. The user can ask it to open a site, type into forms, click through pages, upload files, pull text from the page, and inspect console logs or network traffic. It can also edit Loop documents, and for Microsoft 365 data the guide says it should lean on API tools and WorkIQ instead of the browser.
How it went
This was a feature demo rather than a live test, so it did not report benchmark numbers or a final success rate. The walkthrough also noted that some actions, such as logging in, submitting forms, or changing data, may stop for approval based on permission settings.
Tips
Use a staging site and sample data when possible. Check Settings > Permissions if you want to change when Scout asks before sensitive actions.

Try it yourself with Microsoft Scout

Open [site or staging URL] in a browser and help me complete [form, checkout, signup, dashboard check, or other flow] with test details like [sample name, email, and any other fields]. Click through each step, upload [file] if needed, and inspect the page text, console messages, and network requests for problems. Before you log in, submit, delete, pay, or change anything, show me the exact action and wait for my approval. End by listing any broken steps, error messages, or failed requests you found.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
