History
The list of logs you have opened, on this PC and across your devices.
What is in the list
The panel on the home screen lists what you have opened. Rows marked account Pro are saved to AllDataLogs and open on any device you sign in to. Rows marked this PC are files on this machine, and the list keeps the most recent twenty.
The switch at the top, Save opened logs to my account, turns the syncing off. With it off, nothing leaves the machine.
The same log opened twice is stored once: files are matched by their content, not their name, so a copy under a different name does not use your storage twice.
Removing things
| 🗑 on a this-PC row | Moves the file itself to the Recycle Bin, after asking and showing you the full path. It is recoverable from there. |
| 🗑 on an account row | Deletes the copy stored in your account, after asking. Files on this PC are untouched. |
| × | Drops the row from the list and leaves the file alone. It comes back next time you open that log. |
Storage
An account holds 1 GB of logs. When it fills, the automatically-saved logs you opened longest ago are removed to make room. Logs you saved deliberately are never evicted, so a run you want to keep should be saved rather than left to the automatic list.
