I accidentally deleted a collection and I'm not sure if I missed clicking the undo button like the one that would pop up before the update (if there even is one anymore) but I can't figure out how to restore that collection. I dug out the json from the sql file like I would do before when I needed to restore individual sessions or tabs that I didn't mean to delete. Trying to open the recovered json through the new session buddy just tells me "no collections found"...

I can't seem to find the deleted collection through the new history / snapshot feature either. Some help would be much appreciated.

the best would be if deleted sessions go into the history tab, so that i can revert the deleted session later or also if i miss a undo click

Undo has been replaced by confirmation dialogs that make it clearer what it's about to do. That said, undo has its unique benefits as well and will likely be added again in some form.

Oh that's a great idea, thanks!

Hello, my English is terrible... I'm Brazilian. I'm using ggolgle translator. Sorry for grammar errors.
I pressed the "CLEAR HISTORY" button, thinking that a "pop-up" would appear asking if "were you sure about this" or asking "any specific period".

But none of that happened and I lost all the history that wasn't saved (from January/2024 to today). Is there a possibility of recovering this?

Can this be addressed? You had the foresight to have a confirmation dialog for deleting a single session but when it's a button, or a dropdown menu, to clear your history for the entirety of using the extension, that doesn't need a confirmation? I've lost years of old sessions, tens of thousands of tabs. If my browser or pc crashed, the extension worked the way it should and the session was saved. Except then they all got filtered into history. Then they all got cluttered with snapshots. Then they got deleted when I definitely had no intention of deleting them.
