3.6 Recently Viewed
Recently Viewed is a navigation aid housed in the Selection pane that lets you
quickly return to a recently-visited view in the Primary pane. To access Recently
Viewed, click its stacked tab at the bottom of the Selection pane. You will see a
history of the 20 most recent views in the Primary pane, displayed as either
thumbnails (snapshots) or links. Click on a thumbnail or link to jump back to that
view in the Primary pane.
See Recently Viewed Workspace [➙ 38] and Working With Recently Viewed
[➙ 39] for details.
You can also navigate [➙ 20] through recently-visited views using the icons in the
Navigation bar [➙ 20] of System Manager.

 A new recently-viewed item is stored whenever you change the view in the
Primary pane (for example, by selecting an object in System Browser).
 Returning to one of the recent views creates a new recently viewed item.
 If there is a long operation in progress in the Primary pane, the snapshot/link
being stored blinks until the in-progress operation completes.
