 == Playwright syntax
 
 Inside the callback for each step, you'll likely use a lot of Playwright syntax.
-Many Playwright classes are supported in the Elastic Synthetics library to simulate

+Use Playwright to simulate and validate user workflows including:
 
 * Interacting with the https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browser[browser]
   or the current https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page[page] (like in the example above).
 * Finding elements on a web page using https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-locator[locators].
 * Simulating https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-mouse[mouse],

   https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-keyboard[keyboard] events.
+* Making assertions using https://playwright.dev/docs/test-assertions[`@playwright/test`'s `expect` function]. Read more in <<synthetics-make-assertions>>.

 However, not all Playwright functionality should be used with Elastic Synthetics.
-
 In some cases, there are alternatives to Playwright functionality built into the
 Elastic Synthetics library. These alternatives are designed to work better for
 synthetic monitoring. Do _not_ use Playwright syntax to:
 
-* *Make assertions*. Use Elastic Synthetics's `expect` methods instead.
-  Read more in <<synthetics-make-assertions>>.
 * *Make API requests.* Use Elastic Synthetic's `request`
   parameter instead. Read more in <<synthetics-request-param>>.
 
 There is also some Playwright functionality that is not supported out-of-the-box
 in Elastic Synthetics including:
 
 * https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-video[Videos]
+* The https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-have-screenshot-1[`toHaveScreenshot`] and https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-snapshotassertions[`toMatchSnapshot`] assertions
