I made some changes in a new chat, but when I switched to a previous chat to review earlier changes, my project reverted to that previous state. I didn’t expect that checking previous chats would have this effect. Now, I can no longer access my most recent chat in the chat history, resulting in the loss of both my unstaged changes and my latest chat.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to restore my most recent changes?
Hi guys, I was able to recover my changes thanks to the Timeline functionality in Cursor. However, I couldn’t recover the chat, and I’m not sure why I lost my data in the first place. Checking previous chats doesn’t restore files to a previous version, so I suspect this happens when you navigate through past chats without staging your changes. Still, losing the most recent chat when viewing a previous one seems like a bug to me.
Hey there,
@danigal I would love to recommend you this prompt usually what I’ve done when that happened to me on my early stages and helped me big time.
I need your help analyzing my codebase or project to recover the latest data and understand why I lost my chat history in Cursor. Here’s what happened: I was able to restore my code changes using the Timeline functionality, but the chat history is missing. I suspect this might occur when navigating through past chats without staging changes, as checking previous chats doesn’t seem to restore files to their previous versions. However, losing the most recent chat while viewing an older one feels like a bug to me. Based on this, I want to scan the entire codebase or project to identify any remnants of my latest data, determine if there’s a way to recover the lost chat, and understand the root cause of this issue. Please provide insights into how Cursor handles chat history, potential workarounds for recovery, and steps to prevent similar data loss in the future.
