The tab layout resets every time I start from colab.

[void iron]

Hello, I have to configure the layout every time I start SwarmUi from colab.
Is there any way to save that configuration or force it externally?

some values, including this, are stored in your browser storage not the server. if you're using the automatic cloudflared rehost it'll give you a random url each time you start, so browser loses association.
You can install swarm locally, and then use the Swarm API Backend to set the colab instance as a remote backend rather than your main instance, allows a lot more persistence of things and general convenience
