Use the right kind of saved work
For Chrome’s own groups, follow Google’s desktop tab-group guide. For a specific project snapshot with several windows, keep a named Session. For a list you can read elsewhere, keep an export. These solve related but different problems.
Before ending a workday
Save edits in the websites themselves, check your important Session, and close only the work you intend to leave. Browser restoration records do not replace a document’s own save operation.
For the next browser launch, review Chrome startup and Session-saving options. If tabs are already missing, use the recovery checklist instead.
What Nest adds
Nest named Sessions preserve recorded windows, groups, names, colors, order and pins. Autopilot also keeps Automatic Sessions when eligible windows or groups close. Those automatic records have retention limits: seven days on Free and 30 on Pro.
Keep your browser work within reach
Nest saves Sessions, restores Chrome tab groups and helps you return to your work. Three named Sessions free; unlimited Sessions and cloud sync on Pro.
Frequently asked questions
Is a saved group a complete backup?
No. It does not capture all website state or replace an independent archive of important work.
How many named Sessions are free in Nest?
Free includes up to three named Sessions. Pro makes named Sessions unlimited and adds cloud sync.
