# Unable to find past work or outputs

If you cannot locate previous research, document review outputs, or analyses, it is usually related to **how and where** the task was run.

#### How outputs are normally saved

All actions performed inside a project are recorded in that Project’s **Matter History**. This includes all completed research queries, document analyses, translations and workflows.

You can access the same in the [History tab](/history.md), or on the [Homepage of that Project](/projects/projects-homepage.md#matter-history), or under the 'recent usage' list within a specific tool.

#### When outputs may not appear

In some cases, outputs from Document Review or Research may not be saved if:

* The browser tab was **closed, refreshed, or switched** before AI generation started.
* The user navigated away before the request entered processing.

When this happens, the query is cancelled before execution and does not get recorded in Matter History.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only queries that begin processing are saved to project history.
{% endhint %}

#### What you can do

* **Make sure you are in the same Project** that you ran the task or query in.
* Re-run the query from within the project.
* Wait briefly after submitting a query to ensure processing begins.
* Avoid closing or switching tabs immediately after submission.

This prevents incomplete or abandoned requests from being saved as misleading or partial outputs in project history.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.jurisphere.ai/resources/errors-and-faqs/unable-to-find-past-work-or-outputs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
