Taking a Screenshot of Browser History

This article will show you how to take a screenshot of your browser history. Firstly, we will need to open up the browser history, here is how to do that in a variety of browsers. Most browsers support the shortcut "Control + H" to open up the browser history, but this guide will show you specifically what to do with specific browsers.

 

Google Chrome:

In Google Chrome, click on the three dots at the top right corner, “Customize and control Google Chrome”

Hover over “History” and Click on “History ” to the left. 

 

Scroll to the right point in the history that you are trying to document.

 

 

Mozilla Firefox

To find the History in Mozilla Firefox, click on the three horizontal line symbol at the top right, then click on History.

Click on “Manage History”

This will open the history library where you can see the full history. 

At the top left will be different "timing" folders that you may have to look through to find the specific logs you are looking for.

 

Microsoft Edge

To find the History in Microsoft Edge, click on the 3 dots at the top right corner and click on History.

 

That will open up a sub menu, from there click on the three dots and select "Open history page."

That will take you to a much better screen for scrolling through browser history.

The most common reason to be screenshotting history is for attendance issues. Attendance officially only counts for visiting either the PALCSchool lobby or Canvas. (Any other activity such as Google Docs, any other external tool/website, will not automatically get counted.) Just visiting the login page itself is NOT enough, you must sign in and generate some traffic after logging in.
