 # Changelog
 
+## 3.1.0
+
+- :star: **Recent pages** is dead, long live **sort by last modified**.  ([#32](https://github.com/Odotocodot/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.OneNote/issues/32))
+  - Using the **sort by last modified** keyword, as the name implies, allows you to sort results by last modified. But unlike **recent pages** you can now use it in multiple places, i.e. with **title search**, **scoped search** and **notebook explorer**. Note it must be placed after the aforementioned keywords.
+  - Examples:\
+    (`#` = **sort by last modified** keyword, `*` = **title search** keyword, `nb:\` = **notebook explorer** keyword, `>` = **scoped search** keyword)
+    - ```on #{your search query}```
+    - ```on *#{your search query}```
+    - ```on nb:\PathToItem\#{your search query}```
+    - ```on nb:\PathToItem\>#{your search query}```
+    - ```on nb:\PathToItem\*#{your search query}```  
+- Added a setting to allow users to always open items in a new OneNote window. ([#40](https://github.com/Odotocodot/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.OneNote/issues/40))
+
 ## 3.0.1 - 2026-03-13
 
 - Fix crash on quick note with empty title (Updated to `LinqToOneNote-2.1.1`)
 - Fix incorrect **scope search** check
 - Cache OneNote hierarchy when applicable
-  - This brings the performance improvement for Notebook Explorer from last version to **recent pages** and **title search**
+  - This brings the performance improvement from **notebook explorer** from last version to **recent pages** and **title search**
