{% hint style="warning" %}
If you access vLex through a generic account (i.e. university-wide access) as opposed to a personal account, you might not be able to view your history.  To set up a personal account so that you can see your searching history, please contact your librarian.
{% endhint %}

To stop vLex from recording your searches and the documents you see, open the menu in the top right corner and select **Stop history tracking for this session**.
