# History

## What is the History

In the History iCab saves the URLs or all visited web pages. The History will be ordered chronologically, so the page that is visited last is listed first, and the oldest entries are listed last.

## The Navigation menu

The History is accessible directly through the menu Navigation. The menu item Open History opens the history in a window where the history items are sorted by day. Also in the Navigation menu itself the history items are directly available in submenus, each submenu represents a day. Selecting a history menu item open the web page in the browser window.

## The History Window

The menu item Open History opens the history in a window where the history items are sorted by day. In the window you can open the web page by double-clicking the web pages that are listed here. It's even possible to select web pages in the window and then delete these selected items using the menu item Edit > Delete or by pressing the Backspace or Delete key.

## History Preferences

In the Preferences dialog you can configure the History of iCab in the History panel. You can configure how many entries the history will store. If this number is reached, iCab will automatically delete the oldest items to make room for new items. It's also possible to automatically delete the History when quitting iCab. This can be usefuly if iCab is used on a computer that is shared with multiple users and which do have access to the same user account (but in general each user should have its own user account, so deleting the history is usually not really necessary).
