File Access Panel - Recent Files Mode
The Recent Files mode of the File Access panel provides quick access to files that you have opened in the past. In this mode, there are three sections of the File Access panel: Pinned, Categories, and Recents.
Recents is generated automatically. Pinned and Categories are populated with files that you add. Each of the three section and the groups within those sections can be collapsed or expanded so the list is easier to navigate.
