of that day’s submissions.

The History window organizes its contents by the submission date. You can change the
order in which the contents are sorted by clicking the Reverse Sort Order button along
the bottom of the History window. You can also clear the contents of the History window
by clicking the Clear button or remove selected items by selecting them and pressing
