Notes

1-when editing the animation the gizmos will not update until you go back to the first frame 

2-you have to scroll between the frames from the start frame until you reach the frame you want in order to store the previous frames , sadly that`s how blender cache the data :)

3-if there is any object in your collection that appears from no where , for example geometry node particles that appear at a certain frame then disappears , it is likely to put this type of objects in a different collection then copy the appended object and assign the new collection to the copied object ,cuz otherwise you will have weird affects when showing the motion path :)

4-This modifier works with any type of animation except textures 

5-There is a demo file which contains a ball animation with basic particles made using geometry nodes  

6-It is safe to render your animation without disabling the modifier , the gizmos will not appear in the final renders

7-Pin the modifier so you can easily reach it
