# Hover Web Element

This action hovers on a web element.

**Example**

Occasionally, some elements are only shown if hovered. For example, on Facebook Group posts the time of the posting is easier to access on the element that is shown on hover.

Here is an example of a post where the date is shown when you hover on it.

<figure><img src="/files/Xk1Lz9Qls9PFrcvZ2kH9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In this scenario, you can use this building block to first hover on the post in order to trigger date display and then use *Save Web Element* building block to save the date from the element that is displayed on hover action, as shown below.

You need to enter a CSS or XPath selector of the web element as input.
