Screenshot Comparison Checklist

Compare responsive screenshots with a consistent visual regression review process.

Screenshot comparison works best when reviewers know which changes are intentional. Use this checklist to separate accepted design changes from responsive regressions.

Compare the same state

A visual diff is only trustworthy when the route, viewport, account state, data state, and browser chrome assumptions match the baseline.

Use the same viewport width and height

Match logged-in or logged-out state

Freeze dynamic banners where possible

Capture after fonts and images have loaded

Review layout before polish

Prioritize defects that block conversion or usability. Spacing polish matters, but clipped CTAs, hidden forms, and broken navigation are release blockers.

Check CTA visibility and tap targets

Find content that overlaps or clips

Verify sticky and fixed elements

Scan for unexpected horizontal scroll

Release checklist

Baseline and candidate screenshots use the same viewport matrix.

Intentional copy or design changes are noted before review.

Responsive blockers are separated from minor visual polish.

Approved screenshots are attached to the release evidence.
