Make Introduces Scenario Recovery to Prevent Lost Work from Browser Crashes and Interruptions.

Make has launched Scenario Recovery, a new feature designed to protect automation builders from losing work when their browser crashes, Wi-Fi drops, or they accidentally close the wrong tab. The feature is now available to all Make users at no additional cost.

Building complex automations in Make's visual editor often requires sustained focus and multiple iterations. Until now, an unexpected interruption could mean losing significant progress. The new recovery system addresses this friction point by automatically saving work in the background and offering one-click restoration when sessions are interrupted.

Scenario Recovery operates through three core mechanisms. First, Make continuously saves scenario progress in the background as users build, requiring no manual intervention. When a session is interrupted, whether by a browser crash, network failure, or accidental tab closure, users see a pop-up notification when they return to the editor. This notification offers instant restoration of unsaved work with a single click.

The system also integrates with Make's existing version history feature. Recovered versions appear in the scenario history with clear labels, allowing users to identify exactly where they left off and distinguish between manual saves and automatic recoveries.

Key capabilities:

• Automatic background saving during scenario editing
• One-click recovery from interrupted sessions
• Clear marking in version history
• No configuration or setup required

The feature applies broadly to various interruption scenarios: browser crashes, operating system updates that force restarts, network disconnections during saves, and accidental tab closures. Make states the system is designed to handle both predictable and unpredictable disruptions.

Scenario Recovery represents Make's continued focus on improving the core editing experience. The company has recently shipped several builder-focused updates, including real-time chat interfaces for testing AI agents and custom layouts with real-time collaboration in Make Grid.

The feature is available immediately to all Make users across all plan tiers, including free accounts. According to the announcement, no action is required to enable it; the system activates automatically when users open the scenario editor.

For teams building mission-critical automations or working with intricate multi-step workflows, the safety net removes a persistent source of friction. While competitors like Zapier and n8n offer autosave functionality, Make's approach of surfacing recovered versions directly in the UI and integrating them with version history provides additional visibility.

Users can access full documentation for Scenario Recovery through Make's help center. The feature requires no changes to existing workflows and operates transparently in the background during normal editing sessions.
