# Mouse move

### Mouse move action

Mouse move is the action of controlling the mouse pointer to smoothly move from the current position to a designated point on the screen. This action helps accurately simulate the real user's mouse hovering behavior, allowing the script to bypass anti-bot security systems.

🎥 Watch the tutorial video: [Here](https://youtu.be/kQZWs1I76Zo).

#### Supported mouse move types:

The action supports flexible mouse movement through two main mechanisms:

* Move by XPath: You enter the XPath of the element on the webpage. The system will automatically determine the position of that HTML tag on the interface and move the mouse pointer to the center of the element.
* Move by coordinates: You directly input the pixel point along the x,y axis or pass a variable that combines coordinates (for example, the variable `$pos` in the format `900,800` obtained from the Image search action) to navigate the mouse pointer to the exact position on the screen.

#### 💡 Advanced tip: Drag and Drop an element

You can combine a series of consecutive actions to perform a press-and-hold, drag, and drop operation on any element on the interface (for example: dragging the slider to unlock captcha, dragging and dropping bento grid blocks, or moving game pieces) using the following formula:

1. Mouse press and hold: Press and hold the left mouse button at the starting element position (can be selected by XPath or coordinates).
2. Mouse move: Move the mouse pointer (along with the held data block) to the new destination position.
3. Mouse release: Release the left mouse button to complete dropping the element into the new position.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gpmautomate.com/automate-en/action-guide/mouse/mouse-movement.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
