Hi @Anshul, if you have dynamically changing Id, then you can't use "id" as a locator. But for that, we have 7 other locators i.e:

  • xpath
  • name
  • css
  • link text
  • partiallinktext
  • tag name

So you can use any one of these for identifying the web element. Most commonly, you can use "xpath" or "css-locator" and "link text" or "partial-link text" if there are <a> tags. You can also use name, if name attribute is present for the element.
