Search and filter Captures

Open image in new tab
Captures library with Pending recordings, search, expanded filters and selected-capture actions.

Example with sample data: two pending captures, with one selected. On mobile, the image focuses on search, filters and the bottom action bar. Enlarge for the complete desktop example.

  1. Open Captures and type a recognisable part of the recording name in Search captures.
  2. Choose All statuses, Pending, Imported or Error in Filter by status. The Total, Imported, Pending and Error tiles also change the status filter.
  3. Choose Latest or Oldest in Sort captures. Switch between List view and Detailed view to inspect the results.

Example with sample data

Example: search for “Demo onboarding”, then choose Pending to find a sample recording awaiting import.

Narrow by project or date

  1. Choose Filters to expand the extra controls.
  2. Choose a Project, or select Not imported yet to find captures without a project import. These are alternate project filters; selecting a project replaces Not imported yet.
  3. Set From and To for the recording date range. Keep From on or before To.
  4. Check the result count and use the pagination controls to move through matching recordings.

Tip

Status, search and date filters can combine. A capture can be hidden by another active filter even when its name matches.

If the recording is missing

  1. Expand Filters and choose Clear filters, then check the list again.
  2. Confirm that you saved the recording to Captures in the extension and are signed in to the same account.
  3. If it is still missing, report the recording time, account and save error through Support. Do not record the whole task again until you have checked for a saved copy.

Expected result

The list shows recordings matching the remaining filters. Clearing filters does not delete recordings.
