+# Trace
+
+Trace view is a view in which you can see history of stepped instructions. This lets you examine the details of each instruction stepped when you are stepping manually or [tracing](../../introduction/ConditionalTracing.md) automatically, or view a trace history previously saved. This functionality must be enabled explicitly from trace view or [CPU view](CPU.rst). It features saving all the instructions, registers and memory accesses during a trace.
+
+## Start Run Trace
+
+To enable trace logging into trace view, you first enable it via "**Start Run Trace**" menu. It will pop up a dialog allowing you to save the recorded instructions into a file. The default location of this file is in the database directory.
+
+Once started, every instruction you stepped or traced will appear immediately in Trace view. Instructions executed while the debuggee is running or stepping over will not appear here.
+
+## Stop Run Trace
+
+This menu can stop recording instructions.
+
+## Close
+
+Close current trace file and clear the trace view.
+
+## Open
+
+Open a trace file to view the content of it. It can be used when not debugging, but it is recommended that you debug the corresponding debuggee when viewing a trace, as it will be able to render the instructions with labels from the database of the debuggee.
+
+## Recent files
+
+Open a recent file to view the content of it.
