About the History Drawer
The History drawer provides quick access to all previously submitted batches, allowing
you to conveniently resubmit batches by dragging them to the Batch window, and
view submission details about when particular job batches were submitted from your
computer. Whatever batch you drag to the Batch window for resubmission replaces the
existing batch in the Batch table of the Batch window.
The History drawer consists of a History table that displays information about the batch
name and the date and time it was originally transcoded. The entries are ordered by
date, with the oldest first.

submitted on that particular date.
