@ -74,3 +74,22 @@ Returns `boolean` - Whether the navigation entry was removed from the webContent
#### `navigationHistory.getAllEntries()`
Returns [`NavigationEntry[]`](structures/navigation-entry.md) - WebContents complete history.
#### `navigationHistory.restore(options)`
Restores navigation history and loads the given entry in the in stack. Will make a best effort
to restore not just the navigation stack but also the state of the individual pages - for instance
including HTML form values or the scroll position. It's recommended to call this API before any
navigation entries are created, so ideally before you call `loadURL()` or `loadFile()` on the
`webContents` object.
This API allows you to create common flows that aim to restore, recreate, or clone other webContents.
* `options` Object
* `entries` [NavigationEntry[]](structures/navigation-entry.md) - Result of a prior `getAllEntries()` call
* `index` Integer (optional) - Index of the stack that should be loaded. If you set it to `0`, the webContents will load the first (oldest) entry. If you leave it undefined, Electron will automatically load the last (newest) entry.
Returns `Promise<void>` - the promise will resolve when the page has finished loading the selected navigation entry
(see [`did-finish-load`](web-contents.md#event-did-finish-load)), and rejects
if the page fails to load (see
[`did-fail-load`](web-contents.md#event-did-fail-load)). A noop rejection handler is already attached, which avoids unhandled rejection errors.
