The **Highlight** option in the GUI Spy tool helps you visually verify the element you have captured for automation. When you use Highlight, GUI Spy identifies the selected element on the active browser or application screen and marks it clearly (usually with a border or visual indication).

This allows you to confirm that the correct web or desktop element is being selected before proceeding with automation. It reduces errors and ensures accuracy while building workflows.
