+==== Using the Front Window Title with the Pause Until Action ====
+If you are using KM to execute some type of UI action that uses a dialog window (like Open, Save, Save As), you can use the **[[action:Pause_Until|Pause Until]]** action to trigger on the Window Title, which will often change during the process.
+To determine the Window Titles during the process, reate a TEST macro with a Set Variable to Text action, and leave it visible while you go through the manual steps.
+For example:\\
+{{:condition:km-window-title.png?500|}}\\
+The macro will show the results without running it as you go through the manual steps.
+If the Window Title changes during/after your process, you can use that in a [[action:Pause_Until|Pause Until]] action.
