# Computer-control safety

Close unrelated sensitive windows, use a test account where possible, keep approvals enabled, monitor the screen, and verify every external side effect.

## Where this lives

Open **Settings → Permissions** before starting a computer-control task.

Computer Use lets Foxora observe the screen and operate pointer, keyboard, scrolling, and supported desktop applications under operating-system permissions.

> **Safety:** Keep financial, administrative, credential, destructive, and personally sensitive actions under direct human control.

## Steps

1. Open **Settings → Permissions** before starting a computer-control task.
2. Close unrelated sensitive windows.
3. Use a test account where possible.
4. Keep approvals enabled.
5. Monitor the screen.
6. Verify every external side effect.
7. **Confirm the result.** Watch the Stage or screen, inspect the destination application, and confirm saved or submitted state directly.

## Choose the right path

- Use screenshots for observation-only work.
- Allow pointer and keyboard control for bounded interaction.
- Take over whenever authentication or ambiguity appears.


## Confirm it worked

- Watch the Stage or screen, inspect the destination application, and confirm saved or submitted state directly.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
