# Documents Panel

> Quickly access your most recently edited documents from the sidebar — without leaving the editor.

The Documents panel (<Icon icon="file-text" size={16} />) gives you a quick way to switch between your **recently edited documents** without navigating back to the workspace.

## How it works

When you open the Documents panel, it shows up to **15 of your most recently edited documents** across all projects. Each entry displays:

* **Document title**
* **Project name** the document belongs to
* **Last edited date and time**

The **currently open document** is highlighted with an accent border and a colored <Icon icon="file-text" size={16} /> icon so you can always see which document you're working on.

## Switching documents

Click any document in the list to open it directly in the editor. The switch happens instantly — there's no need to go back to the workspace, find the project, and then open the document.

<Tip>
  This is especially useful when you're working on multiple documents at the same time — for example, a main report and an appendix, or several related templates.
