Questions

Short answers to what people ask most. Each one links to the page with the full story.

Do I have to do anything for it to record?

No. Once it's installed, it records every match on its own, whether or not you ever open the window. See Getting started.

Can other players see my notes or reps?

No. Your notes, reps, tags and comments are only ever shown to you. The addon never sends anything to a chat channel or to another player.

Does it send my history anywhere?

No. Your history stays in a file on your computer. It only leaves if you copy it out yourself, such as with Export or /pvph export csv. See Moving your history.

Does it work on all my characters?

Yes. Every character on your account shares one history. The dropdown at the top right of the window shows one character at a time, or All Characters. See Showing one character.

Will I lose my history if I update or reinstall the addon?

No. Your history isn't kept in the addon's folder, so replacing or deleting that folder leaves it alone. See Updating the addon.

How do I move my history to a new computer?

Use Export on the old computer and Import on the new one, under Storage in the settings. Or copy the saved files across with the game closed. See Where your history is kept.

A match I played isn't there. Why?

Usually one of three things: you left before the end (look under the Other tab), it was a duel the game didn't print a result for, or the game crashed before it saved. See A match is missing.

How do I stop the pop-ups and chat lines?

Each one has its own switch:

What you see	Turn it off with
A line in chat after every match	Chat after a match, or /pvph postgame off
The match window opening by itself after a match	Open the match after it ends, or /pvph aftermatch off
Names across your screen at the start of a match	/pvph announce off
A line in chat when your group changes	/pvph alert off
A mark and a chat line when someone you wrote about appears	Mark people you have written about when they appear, or /pvph sight off
The addon's lines on player tooltips	/pvph tooltip off

The named switches are under Alerts in the settings. See Alerts for what each one does.

Why doesn't it show who killed whom, or interrupts?

The game doesn't let any addon see those during a match. See What it cannot record.

How do I start over?

Erase under ERASE EVERYTHING STORED, at the bottom of Storage in the settings. It asks you to confirm, and keeps a copy you can bring back. See Starting over.

Where's the full list of commands?

On the Commands page, or type /pvph help in game.
