Example: The Click action has the option 'Bypass the mouse for a faster click' available when using the Click action in a botflow task. By default, this option is not selected. If you know you will be regularly using this option when creating botflows, use the Click preference setting to set the 'Bypass the mouse for a faster click' as selected by default. This will save time when using the Click action and provide consistent use when using the Click action to create your botflow.
