   Thanks for clarifying! Makes a lot of sense. 
   
   (1)/(2) My goal was to confirm that we'd use the feedback/experience during 
this period to make any changes, and I think that your answer shows we will, so 
you have my +1 on the migration process. Thanks :)
   
   (3)/(4)/(5) I talked to a couple users at our company and I think I 
understand why switching from SQL lab tabs to browser tabs could help with 
organization, but I'm not totally convinced it's enough value to counteract the 
loss of the current ease of preserving and re-accessing in-progress work. I 
really like your suggestion to show a list of SQL lab "sessions" and think this 
would would tip this into the "obvious net positive for users" category.
   
   Here's my thought process on this: I want to reiterate that saving 
in-progress work is really important. We ran some in-depth research on Superset 
with users at our company, and this was one of the key painpoints (losing work) 
that came up that contributed to a lot of mistrust in Superset. In a world 
where people are used to working with things like google docs (and honestly 
even pre-cloud word autosaved), I feel like the baseline expectation is that 
all in-progress work is saved automatically. 
   
   That's why re: #5 I understand this brittleness with tabs and have been 
advocating for addressing it for a while now. Even though we provide the same 
suggestion you do to our users, every time the local storage gets cleared for 
some reason or another, we get frustrated and surprised users complaining that 
their work has been lost. 
   
   So I really like your suggestion of providing a list view of your SQL lab 
sessions (assuming that your sessions get auto-saved, which I think it would 
since we generate a unique session id each time?) -- it seems like it would 
address both the permanence issue AND also make it easier to manage the clutter 
of your work. (I think that searching through browsing history is a stretch and 
unlikely to be discoverable). If we have this, it seems like a complete 
solution and one that seems more clearly like an improvement. 
   
   (6) OK. Especially with the careful consideration and process we have for 
migration, I feel comfortable with moving that conversation outside of this 
SIP. 
   
   Thanks for taking the time to comment and iterate! I shared this proposal 
with a couple of users here and they appreciated the thought that was put into 
it.
