      Hi,

      I have Opera GX on my laptop, with a bunch of organized speed dials. Today I thought I'd sync it with my desktop, which has a couple of speed dials and bookmarks.

      I hoped that the sync would result in my desktop syncing with my laptop, instead it has done it the other way round, and I've lost most of my speed dials, which are very important to me.

      Is there a way to revert back pre-sync? Please say yes!

      Cheers,

      Phil

        @Tonkenna Speed dials from other Opera installations can be seen in Other Speed Dials. Current Speed Dial is not automatically populated with the ones from other installations.

          @leocg Thanks for replying. I can't see anything called 'Other Speed Dials', but I can see a speed dials tab in the bookmarks section. It shows my Desktop PC, and my old desktop PC, but not my laptop, so I can't see my old Speed Dials there. Cheers, Phil

              @leocg Again, thanks. I can see the 'Other Speed Dials' tab, but as earlier, it shows my Desktop PC, and my old desktop PC, but not my laptop, so I can't see my old Speed Dials there. Cheers, Phil

                  @leocg Yes, I enabled it, and it synced with my online account, removing the speed dials I had on the laptop. When I looked at my sync account on the desktop, it doesn't list the laptop in the 'other speed dials' tab.

                      @leocg Yes, I see that. I was just hoping that when I logged in to my Opera account on my laptop and set it to sync, that it would not just overwrite all my speed dials and bookmarks without saving them somewhere. Which it appears to have done. But thanks for your assistance.
