## 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. Understand observation, pointer and keyboard control, OS permission prompts, takeover, and the limits of desktop automation.
3. Grant screen and control permissions only when needed, place the target application in a known state, and specify the exact task boundary.
4. **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.
