I'm on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) running Mac OS 10.15.5. In my Apple Menu there is the Recent Items list. This list is doing a great job of capturing the various applications I've used, but is not updating the list of documents I've opened. How can I get the Recent Items list to update the list of documents?

Hi there Mark Kaintz,
It sounds as though you're seeing that documents are not updating in your recent items menu. Utilizing the recent items feature can be very useful, I'd be happy to assist in seeking a solution.
Below is a resource that can help:
Open recently used apps, files, and servers on Mac
You can clear the “Recent items” menu and then macOS will begin to rebuild the list.
If you'd like to create a backup of your current settings in case you'd like to restore them at a later point, below is a resource that can provide more information on backing up:
Back up your Mac with Time Machine
I hope this helps,
Cheer!
