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.

Well it was all for Google Sheets and appscript so I didn’t think I would need it. Also I’m brand new and have never used GitHub. So it’s been a good learning experience.

It doesn't have to be github. You can self-host a Forgejo or gitea instance.
