Generation History

If a generation failed, was lost, or you accidentally closed the tab before saving — you can recover it from Generation History.

How It Works

Generated files are stored on our servers for up to 2 weeks after creation. After that, the files are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Where To Find It

Open it from the logo menu → Generation history…, or use the History icon in the Reusable generations panel in the bottom toolbar. Both open the Generation History tab in Settings. The Success, Failed and Active filters start on; click one to hide those runs. You can download outputs directly from the provider.

Download Archive

Need to recover multiple files at once? Click Recovery at the top right of Generation History to open Archive Recovery, then use Download Archive to batch-download all your generated files as a single ZIP. Choose a time range — 3 days, 7 days, or 14 days — and click Create archive ZIP.

Download Archive section with range selection and Create archive ZIP button

The archive is assembled on the server — files are fetched directly from the providers and packaged into a ZIP. This may take a few minutes depending on how many generations you have.

Once ready, you'll receive an email notification with a secure download link. You can also download directly from the modal. Open the email link while signed in to the same FlashBoards account.

Email Notification Example

When the archive is ready, FlashBoards sends an email with a secure download link and archive details.

Good To Know

Files older than 2 weeks may no longer be available, and some outputs expire after about a day. The archive will include everything still stored and show how many files were expired.

Each archive and its download link are available for 14 days. After that, create a new archive from Generation History. Archives are limited to 4 GB each, and you can create a new archive once per hour.
