Open or close a device

When you access Scriptless Mobile, you're prompted to select a device right away—but you can skip this step and open a device later from the UI. At any time, you can open one or more real devices from the lab, switch between different devices, or close the currently open device or devices when you're done.

You can also close all open devices at once. To learn more, see Close all open devices.
