Workspace Restore

What GDAgent Restores

When you reopen a project, GDAgent restores workspace organization such as:

  • sessions
  • tabs
  • tab names and icons
  • active layout
  • grouped tabs and split layout state

This is why you can reopen the editor and get your previous working structure back quickly.

What GDAgent Does Not Restore

Workspace restore does not currently resume:

  • live terminal processes
  • prior terminal scrollback as a full resumed session
  • AI conversation state inside the external tool itself

That means restored tabs come back as part of the same workspace organization, but not as a resumed PTY process or resumed agent chat.

Why This Is Still Useful

For many workflows, the valuable part is getting your layout and task organization back: which agents you had open, which tabs belonged together, and how the workspace was arranged.

Good Mental Model

Think of the current feature as workspace restore, not full terminal-session restoration.
