FAQs

Does position history only show the history for that particular bot?

Yes. Position histories are unique to each individual bot.

If I clone a bot does the position history get copied over?

No. Cloned bots and shared templates do not show the position history.

Can I edit or delete the position history of a bot?

No. However, you can always clone a bot and the log would start anew.
