# Static Website Visual Change Monitor - Desktop & Mobile — workflow

## Choose this tool

Use this tool for public static HTML/CSS documentation, reference pages and server-rendered sites when you want paired visual evidence with previous/current/difference artifacts. JavaScript is disabled.

Useful output columns: `title`, `url`, `comparisonStatus`, `desktopChangedPercent`, `mobileChangedPercent`, `observedAt`.

## Practical workflow

Inspect the first desktop and mobile screenshots before scheduling. Enable comparison with a dedicated history name; the first confirmed saved pair establishes a baseline. Repeat the same URL/settings, review changed-pixel percentages, and open the HTML comparison report to decide whether the visual difference matters. Use a separate history name for independent workflows and avoid concurrent writers.

## Check the fit

Only fixed viewport pixels are captured: 1440x900 desktop and 390x844 mobile-width, not full-page or real-device emulation. Scripts and dynamic application behavior are excluded. Pixel differences are not semantic conclusions; fonts, banners and personalization can create changes. Both views must complete to save one paid observation.

## Real output sample

One selected row from a 2026-11-03 run. Selected original scalar fields from one actual saved observation; nested data and private artifact links are omitted.

Run: Y7NU2WZTnEQnfRQ4P. Summary status: ok. Incomplete: false.

Dated bounded release evidence for this exact input and build. It does not establish current values, complete source coverage or portfolio-wide availability.
