 The exported file contains everything needed to view the session without a network connection and can be shared with teammates or stored for later reference. This complements `/share` (which shares via URL) for cases where an offline or attached format is preferred.
 
+The `/chronicle` command opens an interactive timeline of everything the agent has done in the current session. It shows file changes, tool calls, and conversation turns in chronological order, letting you review the full arc of the session at a glance:
+
+```
+/chronicle
+```
+
+Chronicle tracks which files were created, modified, or deleted during the session alongside the conversation that led to those changes. Use it to review what happened before a `/rewind`, audit what the agent changed, or share a summary of session activity with teammates.
+
+> **Note**: Session history, file tracking, and the `/chronicle` command were previously experimental features. As of v1.0.40, they are available to all users without enabling experimental mode.
+
 **Keyboard shortcuts for queuing messages**: Use **Ctrl+Q** or **Ctrl+Enter** to queue a message (send it while the agent is still working). **Ctrl+D** no longer queues messages — it now has its default terminal behavior. If you have muscle memory for Ctrl+D queuing, switch to Ctrl+Q.
 
 **Background running tasks**: Press **Ctrl+X → B** to move the current running task or shell command to the background. The task continues executing while you can type a new message or review earlier output. This is useful for long-running commands where you want to interact with the agent while waiting for the result.

 This is useful in scripts or CI pipelines where you want the CLI to immediately begin working in a specific mode without an interactive prompt.
 
+The `--max-autopilot-continues` flag controls how many times Copilot can automatically continue in autopilot mode before pausing for confirmation. The default is 5:
+
+```bash
+copilot --autopilot --max-autopilot-continues 10 "Refactor the authentication module"
+```
+
+Set it higher for long-running tasks, or lower for tasks where you want more frequent checkpoints. Setting it to `0` disables automatic continuation entirely.
+
+The `COPILOT_HOME` environment variable sets the Copilot CLI configuration directory. It is the preferred replacement for the `--config-dir` flag, which is deprecated:
+
+```bash
+# Preferred — set via environment variable
+export COPILOT_HOME=~/.my-copilot-config
+copilot
+
+# Deprecated — use COPILOT_HOME instead
+copilot --config-dir ~/.my-copilot-config
+```
+
+Set `COPILOT_HOME` in your shell profile to use a custom config directory across all sessions. This is especially useful when running multiple Copilot configurations for different projects or teams.

 ### Shell Completion
 
 The `copilot completion` subcommand generates a static shell completion script for subcommands, flags, and known option values. Once installed, pressing Tab auto-completes Copilot CLI commands in your terminal.
