Saved

Keep the moments worth returning to, and reopen the workspace layouts that help you work.

An agent gives you a useful explanation. A command captures the failure you need to investigate. A review needs your attention after another task is done. Saved keeps those moments within reach, in the project where they belong.

Bookmark the exact message, command, file line, or pane, then add a note about why you kept it. When you return, hob takes you to the source. The same panel also holds named workspace layouts you can reopen without arranging everything again.

Bookmarks

Save the moment

In the guestbook task, save the agent's review instructions before switching to another workspace. Hover the reply and select its Bookmark icon beside Copy.

The bookmark saves immediately and opens an editor. Give it a useful title, such as Review the counter before committing, and a note: “Try pasted text, both themes, and a narrow window before approving the commit.” Choose a folder if you want to group it with other guestbook work.

A title tells you what you saved; a note tells you why it matters when you return.

Select Done when first saving, or Save when editing an existing bookmark. The filled bookmark icon opens its details again. Closing the editor does not remove an already saved bookmark; use its Trash button to remove it.

Keep the right amount of context

Choose the smallest useful target so you can return directly to the work:

Save…Where to find Bookmark
An agent message or tool blockThe block's action row beside Copy
A terminal command and its outputThe command block's actions
A code lineSelect text in the code view and choose Bookmark in the selection popover. The saved line is underlined; hover it to see the title and note, or to edit or delete the bookmark
A whole paneThe pane header

For example, save a failing check as a command bookmark when its output matters; save the agent's explanation when you want to revisit the reasoning.

Come back and clear it

Open Saved from the bookmark icon in the tool rail. The Bookmarks tab starts on Open. Select the review item's title or preview to jump back to the saved reply, including reopening a closed pane when its content is still available.

Return to the source, then complete the review or archive the item for reference.

Use the checkmark to Mark complete. More actions offers Archive, Edit, and Remove from Saved. Archived items can be unarchived; completed items can be marked incomplete, returning them to Open.

StatusUse it for
OpenWork you still need to return to
ArchivedReference you want to keep without an outstanding task
CompletedSaved work you have handled

Search matches titles, source content, and notes within the selected status. If an item seems missing, check Archived and Completed too. Removing a bookmark moves it to Trash; it does not delete the source conversation, command, or file.

Workspace snapshots

Save a workspace when you have an arrangement worth reusing: an agent beside the guestbook preview, for example. Open the workspace tab's menu or its row menu in Home, then choose Save workspace. Name it Build and review, with an optional note and folder. Names must be unique within the project.

In Saved → Workspaces, select the snapshot row or choose Open saved workspace from its menu. If a linked workspace is already open, hob can take you there or restore its saved arrangement in place when the layout differs.

A snapshot captures one workspace's grid and its pane references, not the Dock or every placement those panes have elsewhere. A pane can appear in more than one workspace; restoring its snapshot preserves its other placements. Review the confirmation when saved panes are already open elsewhere, when panes are missing, or before resetting a layout that has extra panes.

Missing file and web panes can reopen their targets; a recreated terminal starts a fresh shell. If an agent conversation is gone, its slot opens empty. Snapshots do not recover deleted conversation content or roll back project files.

Use Edit for the snapshot's name, note, and folder. For a linked live workspace, Update Saved Layout captures its current arrangement. This is separate from hob automatically remembering your live workspaces. Move to Trash removes the saved snapshot from this list.

Organizing Saved

Bookmarks and workspace snapshots have separate searches and folder trees. Right-click empty list space to create a folder, then drag items into it or select several items and choose Move to folder. Folders can be nested, renamed, or dissolved into their parent without discarding the saved items.

Start with a few purposeful folders, such as Guestbook or Release review. Use bookmark status to distinguish unfinished work from reference; folders can then describe the topic instead of duplicating that status.

For agents

An agent can bring Saved into view and save or restore workspace layouts with the hob CLI. Ask it to preserve a useful working arrangement before starting the next task. You see the named layout in the same Workspaces tab.

hob open panel bookmarks
hob workspace save --name "Build and review" --note "Agent and guestbook preview"
hob workspace saved
hob workspace restore "Build and review" --focus

An agent should read any restore warning before proceeding. --confirm allows reuse of panes already placed elsewhere; --reset restores the saved layout in an already-open linked workspace. These are explicit choices, not default flags to append to every restore.

For an individual moment, use the bookmark controls above. Agents can also recover a past turn and point you to it without requiring you to search the transcript yourself.
