Revert "[v9.5.x] [feat] docs; update admonition syntax (#68856)"
This reverts commit 08ea5c94c6.
I believe that because of automatic conflict resolution, this backport PR contained a number of extra changes that were not part of the update to use admonition syntax.
I'm first going to revert this PR to prevent the confusing behavior in PRs like #68832.
If we still want admonition changes backported, we can open a new PR which I would like to be a reviewer on to double check.

# Query management in Explore
|
|
|
|
To help with debugging queries, Explore allows you to investigate query requests and responses, as well as query statistics, via the Query inspector.
|
|
This functionality is similar to the panel inspector tasks [Inspect query performance]({{< relref "../panels-visualizations/panel-inspector/#inspect-query-performance" >}}) and
|
|
[Inspect query request and response data]({{< relref "../panels-visualizations/panel-inspector/#inspect-query-request-and-response-data" >}}).

## Query history
|
|
|
|
Query history is a list of queries that you used in Explore. The history is stored in the Grafana database and it is not shared with other users. The retention period for queries in history is two weeks. Queries older than two weeks are automatically deleted. To open and interact with your history, click the **Query history** button in Explore.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: Starred queries are not subject to the two weeks retention period and they are not deleted.
|
|
|
|
### View query history
|
|
|
|
Query history lets you view the history of your querying. For each individual query, you can:
|
|
|
|
- Run a query.
|
|
- Create and/or edit a comment.
|
|
- Copy a query to the clipboard.
|
|
- Copy a shortened link with the query to the clipboard.
|
|
- Star a query.
|
|
|
|
### Manage favorite queries

All queries that have been starred in the Query history tab are displayed in the Starred tab. This allows you to access your favorite queries faster and to reuse these queries without typing them from scratch.
|
