Editor sessions
Closing the editor
When you close the browser tab or navigate away, a confirmation dialog appears asking whether you want to close the editor. Click Close to confirm and end the session. The connection to the remote server is severed immediately.
Important: The editor does not auto-save. Save your work before closing to avoid losing unsaved changes.
Session metadata
Session information is stored in your browser for up to 24 hours. This covers session metadata only—the actual connection to the server ends the moment you close the tab.
Unlike terminal sessions (Websh), editor sessions do not persist for reconnection. Each time you open the editor, a new session is created.
Connection errors
If the connection is lost during an active session, the editor displays an error screen with two options:
- Retry: Attempt to reconnect to the editor
- Back to Servers: Return to the server list and start a new connection
Common error causes:
- Server went offline or lost connectivity
- Network connection interrupted
- Session expired
- Server-side editor process crashed
Tips
Save frequently: The editor does not auto-save. Save your changes regularly to avoid data loss if the connection drops.
Close the editor when done: Don’t leave the editor running unnecessarily. Close the tab properly when you’re finished to free up server resources.
Check server status before connecting: Ensure the server shows Connected status before opening the editor. Disconnected servers cannot establish editor connections.
