'how to restore/recover deleted tab of a flow in node-red?
I am working on a big project in node-red. And there are a lot of tabs which contains flows. I accidentally deleted a tab and now it's gone. How can I restore/Recover that deleted tab? Any little help would be highly appreciated. Thanks

If you have not hit the Deploy button, then you can use Ctrl-Z to undo the delete of the tab.
If you have deployed the change, then you'll need to revert to a backup. Node-RED keeps one backup of the flow file for you. Check the node-red startup log for the name of the flow file it is using. Look in that directory for a file with the same name but with 'backup' in it.
If you have deployed more than once, then your deleted tab is gone.

If you have not hit deploy yet, you can get the tab back by hitting ctrl-z (undo)
If you have hit deploy, but only once then there should be a backup of the last version of the flow in your userDir as a hidden file called .flow_name.json.backup
