How do I find the records I last viewed in Family Tree using the Recents feature?

Recents is a feature on the FamilySearch Home Page, in the Tree views, and on the Person Page. 

Recents includes these items:

• A search bar to find a person by name or Person ID.
• A link to the root and starting person (account holder). The name is always at the top of the list and separated from the rest of the list by a line.  
• A link to an alternative starting person, if a different starting person was selected in account settings. An alternative starting person is second in the list and separated from the rest of the list by a line.
• A list of the 50 most recently viewed names.
• At the bottom of the list is an Add Unconnected Person link.
