# Run a session
In Web sessions and mobile sessions, after you start a session, startup progress is shown first, and the screen switches to the shared execution screen when the environment is ready. This page explains the areas and actions available during startup and execution.
## Execution screen layout
After you click **Run Test**, Aximo first shows the **Starting test session** screen. There you can follow startup steps such as **Waiting for an available slot**. When startup finishes, the screen switches to the test execution screen.
Execution screen layout
* **Startup steps**: On the startup screen, check the current step and elapsed time. While **Waiting for an available slot** is shown, the current Web or mobile session slot usage is also displayed.
* **Status and credits**: Check the current state and credit usage from the status badge and used credits at the top of the screen.
* **Live screen**: Check the session operation target in real time in the center panel. Web sessions show the browser, and mobile sessions show the device screen.
* **AI Chat**: Check interactions with the AI in the right panel. Send additional instructions from the input field at the bottom as needed.
## Toggle Interactive mode
While waiting for a worker, turn **Interactive mode** on or off at the top of the screen. When it is on, the AI can ask confirmation questions during the test. If the instructions are ambiguous or the screen state differs from what the instructions imply, the AI asks before proceeding. When a question is needed, the question text appears as-is in **AI Chat**, so you can enter the required information and continue.
The initial value depends on how execution starts.
| Start path | Initial value of Interactive mode |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Started from a new test session | On |
| Run from a case | Off |
Switch it in either path during execution as needed.
## Send additional instructions during execution
From the input field in **AI Chat**, send additional instructions to the running AI tester. If the sent content is judged to be outside the scope supported by Aximo or unsafe to execute, the instruction is not passed to the AI tester. Rejected instructions are shown in the chat and the session continues to wait, so you can send different content as needed. After the session completes, check the reason in **Logs**.
## Take over the browser with Pause Session
When **Pause Session** is available, you can temporarily take over the running browser and then hand control back to the AI.
1. Click **Pause Session** to pause the AI and take over the browser.
2. While the session is paused, use the live browser view to complete the action yourself. **AI Chat** shows that you are controlling the browser.
3. When you are done, click **Resume**.
4. Optionally, enter a short note about what you changed, then click **Done**. To continue without a note, click **Skip**.
Aximo passes the note back to the AI so it can continue from the updated page state.
## End the session
Stop a session from **Terminate** or **End Session** at the top of the screen. In the confirmation dialog, click **Terminate** to stop the session and mark it as terminated.
Terminate confirmation dialog
When the session completes, the screen switches to the session detail screen. For how to check the result, see [Results](/test-case-creation/session-results.md).
