Katalyst: Experiments missing from user’s “Recent” lists

Description

• Users open experiments frequently but:
  • Do not see some of them appear in the “Recent” or “Recently Viewed” list.
  • Or only a subset appears, making it harder to return to frequently used experiments.

Solution

• Understand “Recent” behavior:
  • Stores  a limited number of items (e.g., last 15 opened experiments).
  • Some interactions (e.g., read‑only views, intermediate states) may not count as “viewing” for the recent list.
• If an experiment doesn’t appear:
  • Confirm it was fully opened in a regular view (not just in a background link or partial load).
  • Try closing and reopening to see if it then appears.
• Limitations:
  • If the allowed number of recent is small, older items will drop off as new ones are opened.
  • Some versions may not track recent across devices/browsers.
• Workarounds:
  • Encourage users to use saved searches/filters or bookmarks for important experiments.
  • Consider feature requests for:
    • Larger or user‑configurable “Recent” lists.
