I love this tip for adding a Recents stack to macOS:
Most users are aware that you can drag any folder into the
right-hand side of the Dock to turn it into a stack, but the
following lesser-known trick creates a unique stack type containing
your most recently opened applications, documents, or servers.
Alternatively, you can also set this unique type of stack to show
the Favorite folder locations and Device links that appear in your
Finder's sidebar.

This saves me time, especially when dealing with MS Office files. I
work with several to dozens in a day, so having this stack instead of
relying on the built-in Powerpoint or Word, &t．functionality makes a
noticeable difference.
Now, if I could just trigger and navigate it with the keyboard …
Anyway, open a terminal window and enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{"tile-data" = {"lis
t-type" = 1;}; "tile-type" = "recents-tile";}'; killall Dock
The stack should appear on your Dock. Right click it and tailor it to
your needs. Please note:
Note that you can change the number of items shown in a recent items
stack in the following way: Click the Apple () logo in the menu
bar, select System Preferences…, open the General preference pane,
and choose another number from the Recent items dropdown menu.
Enjoy!
