Tips Finally Happened

So i hadnt seen anything on here posting about this so i wanted to make sure that people knew. I was working on a project trying to simplify a process that im working on as a database with a form that would talk back to it after search. Well we finally got the end and i downloaded the file. well i decided to ask one more question and the whole window disappeared along with the gs code. gone. hours of work gone. i havent been able to get back to where i was and now its pulling teeth to describe where we were etc. in the future ill definitly immediatly download the file and its a good learning lesson but good lord it was so insanely frustrating.

Edit: so I hadn’t turned memory on because I assumed that it automatically was just a feature. Also I got a GitHub account and also learned about cowork and I set up a file on my desktop.

Was this through the web UI or the CLI?

I’m on a MacBook Air and in the top there’s the butthole that I click on.
