**History** is the list of everything Pantaray has suggested and every Action it has run. Open it
from **History** at the top of the Pantaray window.

## Reading the list

Each entry shows when it was **Created**, when it was last updated, the suggestion, and the result.
Entries carry a status when there is one to show:

- **Running**, meaning the Action is working now.
- **Waiting for approval**, meaning it has stopped to ask you something.
- **Unread completion**, meaning it finished while you were away and you have not looked yet.

An entry with nothing to report shows no badge.

## Finding something specific

Above the list there are three filters and a search box:

- **Keyword search** searches suggestions and results.
- **Reaction status** covers whether you accepted, dismissed, or have not answered.
- **Action status** includes **Not executed**, for suggestions that never became work.

**Reset filters** clears them. If the list comes up empty after filtering, Pantaray says so:
*No history items to display.* Change the filters, or wait for a new suggestion.

## Reopening a conversation

Select an entry to see the detail, then choose **Open in agent overlay** to bring the conversation
back. Send a message and it continues from where it stopped. This is also how you pick up a stopped
Action.

## Starting fresh

**New conversation** at the top right starts an Action without waiting for a suggestion. The same
thing happens when you press the keyboard shortcut from any app, shown in
**Settings → Keyboard shortcut**.

## How long history is kept

Your conversations and their results stay on this Mac until you delete them. This is separate from
the 48-hour recording of your activity, which expires on its own. See
[What Pantaray records, and where it is kept](/privacy/what-is-recorded).
