+### Tips
+
+- **Viewing headless sessions**: When you start a session, the output includes a `ViewerUrl` - open it to watch your headless browser live
+- **Element selectors**: If element IDs from `observe` (like `@B1`) don't work, use Playwright selectors: `#id`, `.class`, `button:has-text('Submit')`
+- **Multiple matches**: Use `>> nth=0` suffix to select the first match: `button:has-text('OK') >> nth=0`
+- **Closing modals**: `notte page press "Escape"` reliably dismisses most dialogs

+## Tips & Troubleshooting
+
+### Handling Inconsistent `observe` Output
+
+The `observe` command may sometimes return stale or partial DOM state, especially with dynamic content, modals, or single-page applications. If the output seems wrong:
+
+1. **Use screenshots to verify**: `notte page screenshot` always shows the current visual state
+2. **Fall back to Playwright selectors**: Instead of `@ID` references, use standard selectors like `#id`, `.class`, or `button:has-text('Submit')`
+3. **Add a brief wait**: `notte page wait 500` before observing can help with dynamic content
+
+### Selector Syntax
+
+Both element IDs from `observe` and Playwright selectors are supported:
+
+```bash
+# Using element IDs from observe output
+notte page click "@B3"
+notte page fill "@I1" "text"
+
+# Using Playwright selectors (recommended when @IDs don't work)
+notte page click "#submit-button"
+notte page click ".btn-primary"
+notte page click "button:has-text('Submit')"
+notte page click "[data-testid='login']"
+notte page fill "input[name='email']" "user@example.com"
+```
+
+**Handling multiple matches** - Use `>> nth=0` to select the first match:
+
+```bash
+# When multiple elements match, select by index
+notte page click "button:has-text('OK') >> nth=0"
+notte page click ".submit-btn >> nth=0"
+```
+
+### Working with Modals and Dialogs
+
+Modals and popups can interfere with page interactions. Tips:
+
+- **Close modals with Escape**: `notte page press "Escape"` reliably dismisses most dialogs and modals
+- **Wait after modal actions**: Add `notte page wait 500` after closing a modal before the next action
+- **Check for overlays**: If clicks aren't working, a modal or overlay might be blocking - use screenshot to verify
+
+```bash
+# Common pattern for handling unexpected modals
+notte page press "Escape"
+notte page wait 500
+notte page click "#target-element"
+```
+
+### Viewing Headless Sessions
+
+Running with `--headless` (the default) doesn't mean you can't see the browser:
+
+- **ViewerUrl**: When you start a session, the output includes a `ViewerUrl` - open it in your browser to watch the session live
+- **Viewer command**: `notte sessions viewer` opens the viewer directly
+- **Non-headless mode**: Use `--headless=false` only if you need a local browser window (not available on remote/CI environments)
+
+```bash
+# Start headless session and get viewer URL
+notte sessions start -o json | jq -r '.viewer_url'
+
+# Or open viewer for current session
+notte sessions viewer
+```
+
+### Bot Detection / Stealth
+
+If you're getting blocked or seeing CAPTCHAs, try these approaches (requires restarting the session with new parameters):
+
+1. **Change browser type**: Some sites have different detection for different browsers
+   ```bash
+   notte sessions stop
+   notte sessions start --browser-type firefox
+   ```
+
+2. **Enable proxies**: Rotate IP addresses to avoid rate limiting
+   ```bash
+   notte sessions stop
+   notte sessions start --proxies
+   ```
+
+3. **Firefox + CAPTCHA solving**: The `--solve-captchas` flag works best with Firefox
+   ```bash
+   notte sessions stop
+   notte sessions start --browser-type firefox --solve-captchas
+   ```
+
+4. **Combine strategies**: For heavily protected sites, combine multiple options
+   ```bash
+   notte sessions stop
+   notte sessions start --browser-type firefox --proxies --solve-captchas
+   ```
+
+**Note**: Always stop the current session before starting a new one with different parameters. Session configuration cannot be changed mid-session.
