# Cloud history and automatic updates

> Understand account sync, multi-device restore, scheduled snapshots, notifications, and review in Retina.

Retina keeps a browser working copy and a cloud account copy of a signed-in portfolio. New snapshots sync to the account so your history can be restored elsewhere.

Scheduled portfolio updates are optional. Cloud history does not require you to turn on a schedule.

## Use Retina on another device

Sign in with a method linked to the same Retina account. When the browser has no existing portfolio, Retina restores the account's saved data automatically.

When the browser and account already contain different histories, Retina pauses before replacing anything. You can keep the browser version, download a backup, or use the account version.

## Turn on automatic updates

Open **My Account** and enable **Automatic portfolio updates**.

Choose:

* The capture time
* Your timezone
* A second daily slot when your account includes one
* Which email notifications you want to receive

The account panel shows the next planned run and today's automatic and manual snapshot use.

Automatic updates run without an open browser. They use the sources and portfolio settings saved with your account.

## Notifications

Email notifications can cover:

* Successful automatic updates
* Failed updates
* Updates waiting for review
* A weekly maturity summary

Turn off any notification category you do not want.

## Review protection

Retina does not add a partial automatic result to history.

* A blocking finding waits for your review.
* An advisory finding is saved with its reason attached.
* Later scheduled updates can continue while an older candidate remains available for review.

Open **My Account** when Retina reports that an update needs a quick check. You can retry the affected wallets, skip the candidate, or keep it when you know the values are correct.

## Snapshot allowances

Your account panel shows the current wallet, daily capture, and retained-history limits. Unused automatic capacity may become available for a manual capture. A minimum interval can still apply between captures.

Plan limits will become tied to Focus, Range, and Horizon when checkout and subscription enforcement launch. See [Plans and pricing](/account/pricing).

## If sync is interrupted

Retina keeps the last durable browser copy. Open **My Account** to retry backup or resolve a version conflict. Download a full backup before choosing a replacement when you want an extra recovery copy.
