Recent Items provides quick access to recently used GameObjects, project assets, and scenes through a Scene View overlay panel.

![Recent Items Overlay Panel](https://260262196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FpYxFg97YnJX96UzNNTSd%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5be94dc5684cb0b763e4bdd25d6a4e52da51dc66%2Frecent-items-overlay.png?alt=media)

## Overview

Recent Items automatically tracks your selection history and organizes items into three categories:

* **Scene Objects**: GameObjects from your scenes (shows up to 5 items)
* **Project Assets**: Scripts, prefabs, materials, etc. (shows up to 5 items)
* **Scenes**: Scene files you've opened (shows up to 3 items)

Objects in different scenes are marked with **(→)** and prompt you to switch scenes when clicked.

## How to Use

1. Click the **Recent** button in the realvirtual toolbar to toggle the overlay
2. Click any item to navigate to it immediately
3. The overlay closes automatically after selection
4. Use **Clear All** button to remove history

## Features

* **Auto-tracking**: Continuously monitors your selections
* **Unity Icons**: Each item shows its appropriate icon (blue for prefabs, etc.)
* **Time Stamps**: Shows when you last accessed each item (2m, 5h, 3d, etc.)
* **Smart Scene Switching**: Prompts before switching to different scenes
* **Persistent History**: Maintains history across Unity sessions
* **Auto-refresh**: Updates every 2 seconds when visible

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://doc.realvirtual.io/basics/user-interface/recent-items-pro.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
