Display recent documents and recent operations

The Recent Documents list provides a means of locating documents that you have recently opened, while the Recent Operations list organizes documents based on the activities performed on them.

This can be useful, for example, to locate docs you want to add to your favorites list.

  1. Open the DITA perspective.
  2. From the menu bar, select Window > Show View > Documents.
    The Documents view appears.
  3. Expand the Recent Documents and Recent Operations panels.
    Documents you have recently opened are listed under Recent Documents; your recent activities (and their associated documents) are listed under Recent Operations.
