Saved

Overview

Saved allows you to save tabs and windows to browse, organise and later restore:

The UI and UX is designed to work seamlessly with the Workspace, and is included in Search; the idea is to dissolve the idea of open or closed tabs, and simply treat sites and pages as available data.

Functionality

Whereas the Workspace refers to Windows and Tabs, Saved refers to Folders and Pages; tabs are saved as pages, and windows as folders. Both can be quickly restored via mouse or keyboard.

Under the hood, folders and pages (i.e. windows and tabs) are stored as bookmarks; this ensures they are synced across devices, and you can even save to your desktop from mobile!

Background

Note that original vision for Saved was to save windows and tabs as named workspaces:

Whilst the rigid three-level columnar format works in that context, it begins to show its limitations when you have lots of saved items and want more granularity and flexibility. In some future version, the UI will change to a hierarchical format. But for now...

Actions

Saving

There are two ways to save tabs and windows to Saved:

• using the Save Tabs or Save Window modals
• dragging tabs directly from the Workspace to Saved

See Data section for full information.

Restoring

Windows and tabs can be restored to the Workspace in a variety of ways:

Note that there are some rules which determines how items are restored.

For tabs:

• if the tab is not already open, it will be opened in the current window
• if the tab's folder matches an open window name, it will be opened in that window
• if the tab is already open, that tab will be switched to

For folders:

• if there is no matching named-window, the window will be opened and named
• if there is a matching named-window, the window will be updated with the missing items

Folders

The Saved UI shows one or two levels of folders, as configured during Setup. Note that the additional Workspaces folder level can be toggled on and off.

You can add new folders using the Add Folder button at the bottom of each column.

Organisation

Saved has nearly the exact same interactivity as Tabs, so you can select, nudge, copy, paste, rename and share folders and pages without taking your hands off the keyboard.

Options

The pane has some configurable options, accessible from the panel's hamburger icon:
