The Tracker palette temporarily stores brush categories, variants, and dab types when you apply brush strokes to the canvas. Each time you use a new brush, the variant is saved in the Tracker palette. Brush variants are stored after the document you were working on has been closed and even between Corel® Painter™ sessions.

You can return to a brush variant you like by choosing it from the Tracker palette. You can view the brush variants stored in the Tracker palette as thumbnail images, as a list, or as strokes. The Tracker palette can be resized to display more or fewer brush variants; however, it will only store up to 25 variants at a time. If you want to keep your favorite brush variants, you can lock them so that they're always on the Tracker palette, or you can save them. You can also clear brush variants from the Tracker palette.
