Incognito mode lets you run Atlas searches that aren’t saved to your account history. When incognito is on, your search thread won’t appear in your Briefcase or your search history.

​
When to use incognito mode

  • You’re exploring a sensitive topic and don’t want it in your history
  • You’re testing Atlas’s capabilities and don’t want test queries cluttering your research history
  • You’re on a shared computer

​
Turning incognito mode on

Click the ghost icon in the bottom-left corner of the search bar. When it turns active, you’re in incognito mode. The search bar will show a subtle indicator. All searches in that session will be private. Toggle it off to resume saving history normally.
Incognito mode applies to the current search only — it doesn’t retroactively hide previous searches. Searches already in your history stay there.
