What are Recent pairings in Data Parking, and how do I pin one?

\n

Short answer: The Recent button remembers pairings you've used, newest first. Click one to restore it, pin the ones you use often so they stay at the top, forget single ones, or Clear recent to remove all unpinned pairings.

\n

The Recent button lists the folder pairings you've used, newest first, and remembers them across sessions. Click a row to restore it.

\n
  • Pin keeps a pairing at the top so it isn't dropped when the list fills up.
  • Forget removes one pairing.
  • Clear recent removes the unpinned ones and leaves your pinned ones alone.
\n

If a pairing can't be restored — for example because the drive isn't connected or a folder was renamed — Storage Studio tells you which side is unavailable instead of opening the wrong place.
