Frequently Asked Questions
Is Save and Close safe?
Yes - it stores the tabs in the workspace on your device before closing them.
Do pages keep running after Save and Close?
Closed tabs are not live. They reload when you restore the workspace.
What about unsaved form fields on a page?
Save in-page work before closing any tab - same as quitting the browser.
Can I undo Save and Close?
Yes. Save and Close stores the tabs in your workspace before closing them, so you can reopen that workspace any time to bring the same tabs back.
