how long does it take for Bitcoin I sent from my Electrum wallet to appear in the History tab?
It is instant. If it doesn't show up, then you have only created the transaction, but you have not yet broadcast it to the network.- on the addresses list tab, the address of the wallet from which I sent the Bitcoins says "receiving" under the Type.
This is fine. This just means you are spending from a non-change address.- I chose the max fee (confirm within next block).
This is also fine.- I cannot check the transaction ID on a blockchain explorer because Electrum hasn't even generated a transaction ID yet. It still says "unknown".
Open up the transaction and look for the "Finalize" button at the bottom left. Once the transaction has been finalized, it will generate a TXID. You can then use the new "Sign" and "Broadcast" buttons at the bottom right to, well, sign and then broadcast the transaction.Thanks for the clear responses.
I clicked "finalize" but I never clicked "sign"...or "rebroadcast" for that matter.
This is what it looked like after I clicked "finalize":

Do I have to click "sign" in order for the transaction to complete successfully?
