Ways to restore tabs closed via the context menu?

Hi all,

So there is the option in the tab content menu to "Close other tabs"/"Close tabs to the right" etc.

They work as intended, and whilst I don't ever use this functionality, it's probably useful.

Now, when I accidentally miss the right option, and say close all other tabs, it is impossible to restore to a previous state if more than 10 (or so) tabs were open.

I assume it's a limitation of the Recently closed buffer, and is probably by design, but could there be a fall back for when so many tabs are closed at once?
It is sad that an unclean shutdown or reboot can easily be recovered from, yet a misclick purges almost everything

Hi tohaklim,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

You can use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T to restore the previously closed tabs. Each press on the shortcut will restore 1 tab and/or window if it is the case, in closing order.

Or you can go to the recently closed tabs full-page by opening the history > select "History" title > Recently Closed, select all entries, and select "Restore" it will restore all tabs in a batch

The Recently Closed supports restoring the latest 25 tabs.

But you are right, a context menu to "undo" the closed tabs in a batch is a good option. Leave this suggestion on the Edge Feedback, use the shortcut (Alt + Shift + I) and send it, this is a good way to let the Edge developers know about it.
