Everything you note during play is kept in the session log. From there, Critsmith turns it into a recap for your players, so nobody has to write up the session by hand.
Open the session log
On the Run screen, press Campaign session log. Every session is here, newest first. The one still running is marked Live.

What each note shows
Each note shows its tags, DM only if your players must never see it, and anything it was linked to. Critsmith adds its own notes too, such as a fight's result, or the XP and gold you gave out.
