Restore Timeline
Restore points are local safety snapshots. Restore Timeline turns them into a searchable history of important changes.
When restore points are useful
- Before replacing data during import.
- Before restoring from Google Drive during connection.
- Before moving or reordering groups and links where supported.
- Before saving open tabs into a new group.
- Before reset or destructive cleanup actions where supported.
- Before duplicate deletion when you confirm selected items.
Restore Timeline
Restore Timeline groups snapshots by day, shows readable reasons and context, and includes search and action filters. You can restore a snapshot after confirmation or export a restore point as a JSON backup.
Aura Start keeps up to 20 local restore points. The cap prevents unbounded growth in extension storage; use Full Backup JSON exports for long-term backup history outside the browser profile.
Before restoring
Restoring changes your current local Aura Start data. Aura Start creates a new restore point for the current state before restore where possible, so you have a way back if the restored snapshot is not the one you wanted.
Good habits
Restore points are helpful, but they are still local browser data. Keep a Full Backup JSON file somewhere safe before very large changes.
