The Oops menu displays the history of completed actions. Completed actions are displayed as a list and in chronological order. The action at the bottom shows the latest entry.

The latest action or multiple actions can be Oopsed. It is also possible to use Oops filters for different kinds of actions.

For more information about Oops, see Oops keyword and Oops hardkey.

Important:
All Oops entries are cleared when changing the Patch or loading a show file.
