Opera One Save sessions (for open tabs and workspaces)

I would like Opera One to be able to save open tabs (in the same order) and with respect to the "Workspaces" they are in. This feature was available long back in Opera (non chromium) versions. And it was unmatched to any browser feature even to date. Can you please return this feature to Opera One (latest browser)?

No I haven't. I had raised it to Opera support team via the "Suggestion" section and a team member marked my request as "Invalid".
Which is very sad for an Opera user like myself.

My "workaround" while using Opera is saving the open tabs under pinboards. As you can create folders within the pinboards and associate them to workspaces. Whenever I lose my tabs (especially when I group them as Islands, I have stopped using Islands and ever since my open tabs haven't disappeared), I go to pinboards reopen those tabs, and I have to say its kind-a-like the session feature.

You have to save each open tab only once. And in case of a crash or Opera goes blank/forgets your open tabs. The pinboards would have your manually saved open tabs.

@yaakhan that's a useful tip, but do you have to share the pinboards online? I gave up using pinboards because I couldn't share them. When I'm sufficiently organised, I add each workspace's tabs to Speed Dial folders.

you can share Pinboards, there is an option to share them in Opera One.
I also backup my Opera "Session" folder to recover the open tabs/workspaces when Opera "forgets" open tabs at any point due to a crash or for any reason.

1. Copy the contents of "Sessions" folder (while Opera has your open tabs/workspaces)

(For WIndows 11)
C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS
USER]\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Sessions

2. Paste/Backup the contents into another new folder/USB drive of your choice

At any point, should you lose the open tabs in Opera.

3. Delete all the contents of the "Session" folder

4. Paste the "Backup" version of contents from step 2.

5. Open Opera and you should have your tabs/islands/workspaces
   back again!

6. Backup your "Session" folder every time you have new tabs, islands or workspaces.
   Or whenever you feel the need to backup your Opera open tabs.

7. Request Opera to have this feature built into the browser for saving sessions!
