Hi Sam,

Parent Document Loaded action not only checks for the element that you are putting as an input to the action to be loaded but also it checks that the entire page and all of its child frames are fully loaded. Parent Document Loaded includes an implicit Check Exists on the element as well as a Document Loaded check. It is usually good practice to use this at the start of a browser action.

Document Loaded action checks if the current document has loaded. Do not use this unless you know you are already on the page which you are waiting to load, otherwise it is more appropriate to use Parent Document Loaded on an element on the target page.

Check Exists action simply checks that the specified element exists on the page, regardless of if any other elements exist.

NOTE: While you use Browser mode now, Parent Document Loaded action has been deprecated but there are certain workarounds which you can use to get it done using JavaScript but going ahead even this won't be applicable as Manifest v3 will come into picture with all browser extensions.
