Session Replay and Review

Ansight Studio session review is built around reconstruction. The goal is to show what happened, in order, with enough evidence to explain a bug without relying on memory or guesswork.

Explore the Session Player

Click or focus a highlighted region to see what that part of Ansight Studio contributes to replay and review.

Session player regions

Recorded sessionsSelect another capture, compare recency, and jump between local sessions for the same app. Session infoShows the app, version, platform, device, runtime, start time, and captured duration for the selected session. ActionsExport, delete, inspect properties, or open more options for the selected session. TelemetryAligns FPS, memory, battery, app state, and other channels against the replay timeline. ChannelsToggle telemetry series and analysis helpers so reviewers can isolate performance or state changes. Evidence tabsSwitch between logs, analysis, annotations, visual tree snapshots, and artifact evidence. Evidence tableShows timestamped evidence for the selected tab, preserving the order of logs, annotations, artifacts, and related events. Replay frameDisplays the captured app screenshot at the selected moment so telemetry and logs can be interpreted visually.

Timeline Review

The session timeline brings together:

• logs
• screenshots
• visual tree snapshots
• touch events and inferred gestures
• telemetry samples
• lifecycle changes
• annotations
• artifact snapshots

Use the timeline when the order of events matters, such as when a tap happens before a navigation change, a warning appears before a crash, or memory climbs during a flow.

Screenshots and Visual Trees

Screenshots show what the user saw. Visual tree snapshots provide the structured UI state Ansight Studio captured near the same moment.

Together, they help reviewers answer questions such as:

• What screen was visible?
• Which control was present?
• Was the expected element enabled, visible, or positioned correctly?
• Which UI element was closest to a tap?

Logs and Artifacts

Logs explain what the app reported. Artifact snapshots and captured files preserve extra runtime evidence such as app-generated files, debug payloads, or sandbox contents when the SDK tooling is configured to provide them.

Agents use the Evidence and Artifacts MCP tools, Log Review MCP tools, and Touch Review MCP tools to reconstruct a session through Ansight Studio.
