Tab Session History in MongoDB Compass

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

In MongoDB Compass I have a ton of tabs open, kind of like a workspace. I am in the middle of many things and need to close the application for some reason - updating, restarting, etc.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

I would like to see all of my tabs restored, and kept in kind of like a "tab history" with forward/backward capability similar to chrome tabs.

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

Lost information / working set data.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

I just close everything and start from scratch, reopening collections / grouping tabs again as I need them.
