History and projects

Every screenshot you take with InnoShot is kept in your browser, so you can come back to it later. The history page is where you find, organize and reopen your captures and projects. The InnoShot popup also lists your most recent captures for quick access.

Captures and projects

InnoShot keeps track of whether you have worked on an item:

• A capture is a screenshot you have taken but never edited.
• A project is a screenshot you have edited, with its crop, adjustments, annotations, effects, background and frame.

Both reopen in the editor. The difference matters for the optional retention rule: only captures that were never edited and are not favorites can ever be removed by it. Edited projects are never removed by retention.

Organize your library

Each item shows a thumbnail so you can recognize it at a glance. From the history page you can:

• Rename an item so it is easy to find later. The name also appears in the editor's top bar.
• Duplicate an item to get an independent copy, for example to try a different style without changing the original.
• Delete items you no longer need.
• Search to find an item quickly.
• Sort the list to bring the items you need to the top.
• Favorite items you want to keep close. Favorites are also protected from retention.
• Tag items to group them, for example by client, product area or release.

Reopen and keep editing

1. Open the history page.
2. Find the item with search, sort, tags or favorites.
3. Open it. It reopens in the editor as you left it.

Editing in InnoShot is non-destructive. The crop does not discard pixels, and layers stay separate, so you can still widen a crop, move an arrow or remove a blur long after you made it.

Autosave

With autosave on, the editor saves your changes as you work, so you do not have to remember to save before closing the tab. You can turn autosave off in Settings and use the save control in the editor's top bar instead.

Each continuous gesture, such as a drag or a slider adjustment, counts as one undo step, so undo takes you back in meaningful steps rather than pixel by pixel.

Good to know

• History lives in this Chrome profile on this computer. There is no account and nothing is uploaded, so it does not appear on your other computers.
• Deleting an item removes it from your browser's storage, and there is no cloud copy to restore from. Export a backup first if you might need it again.
• Long full-page captures take the most space. The storage article shows how to see usage and tidy up.
