# What is the done tab, and where do its entries come from?

The **done** tab is a running record of what the agent has finished in that project. Each time the agent completes something worth noting, it adds one short line here, newest at the top, with how long ago it happened. It is the answer to "what has the agent actually done?" when you step away and come back. You do not write in it; the agent fills it in as it works.

## What you see

Open a project's side panel and click the **done** tab. Each entry is a single line: a short summary of what was done, with a small time on the left showing how long ago it was (like "5m" or "2h"). The newest entry sits at the top.

When there is nothing recorded yet, the tab reads:

> No actions logged yet — the agent will add one each time it finishes something meaningful.

## Where the entries come from

The agent adds a line here in two situations:

- When it finishes a task, the note it writes about that task appears here.
- When it does a meaningful piece of work outside of a queued task, it logs a one-line summary of it.

So the **done** tab and the **tasks** tab work together: **tasks** is what you want done and what is in progress, and **done** is the record of what got finished. See [How do I give my agent a task?](how-do-i-give-my-agent-a-task.md) and [What do the task states mean?](what-do-the-task-states-mean.md).

## Tidying entries

You cannot add an entry by hand, but you can remove one. Each line has a small **×** on the right; click it and confirm to delete that entry. Its tooltip reads "Delete this entry". This only removes the line from your view; it does not undo the work the agent did.

## It belongs to the project

Like tasks and notes, the **done** list is tied to the project folder open in that quadrant. Move the quadrant to a different folder and you see that project's record instead. This keeps each project's history with the project.

## How do I know it worked?

After the agent finishes a task or a meaningful change, a new line appears at the top of the **done** tab describing it, with a fresh time next to it. If the tab still shows "No actions logged yet", the agent has not recorded anything for this project yet.

## Common problems

**"The done tab is empty even though the agent did work."** The agent only logs finished, meaningful work. If it is still mid-task, nothing is recorded yet. It also may have logged the work under a different project folder; check you are on the right project.

**"Can I write my own note in the done tab?"** No. The **done** tab is the agent's record. For things you want to keep yourself, use the **notes** tab instead. See [How do I save a note the agent can keep?](how-do-i-write-a-note.md).
