1. Disconnected users lose all state from the session. All open tabs, browser history, and files downloaded to the secure browser are recycled. 

## Session history

The dashboard contains sessions from the last 35 days. You can use the CLI to list sessions, with or without a filter. The session history is delivered as JSON, which administrators can process, manage, and store in a separate repository. 

The following are sample CLI commands for managing sessions in the US-West-2 (Oregon) region.

To list all sessions for a web portal, run the following command:

**aws workspaces-web list-sessions --portal-arn arn:aws:workspaces-web:us-west-2:<accountId>:portal/<portalId>**

To list all sessions for a specific user of a web portal, run the following command:

**aws workspaces-web list-sessions --portal-arn arn:aws:workspaces-web:us-west-2:<accountId>:portal/<portalId> --username <username>**
