Editor sessions

Closing the editor

When you close the editor’s browser tab, the connection to the remote server ends immediately.

Important: The editor does not auto-save. Save your work before closing to avoid losing unsaved changes.

Sessions don’t persist

Unlike terminal sessions (Websh), editor sessions don’t persist for reconnection. Each time you launch 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 Online status before launching the editor. Offline servers cannot establish editor connections.
