An accidental swipe back no longer has to mean rebuilding an automation. Home Assistant’s automation, script and scene editors ask before abandoning unsaved changes when someone uses Android’s back gesture, the browser Back button or Alt+Left. Declining keeps the editor open; confirming leaves in the same step.
Leaving the scene editor also restores the devices’ earlier states after live editing. Previously, using the sidebar or switching scenes could leave the home in the temporary preview. Putting the browser tab in the background does not end live mode.
Petar Petrov extends the safeguards he added in August for navigation through the quick bar, editor links and companion-app commands. The raw dashboard YAML editor gains the same unsaved-changes protection, closing another route to losing work.
