Description

I have pasted back most of the bookmarking text from earlier versions of the app from the files below; however, this still does not work.

To fix this one of two things will need to happen:

  1. Figure out why Lucas' bookmark workaround code isn't working
  2. Get the actual bookmarking method implemented by RShiny working, in which case I should be able to remove the bookmark_function.R file.

This is important because it lets folks save specific states of the app.

Research direction

Start by reading R/bookmark_functions.R and the bookmarking code in R/server.R to determine which implementation is currently used and why it fails. Run the app and verify that users can save and restore specific app states; completion means one working bookmarking approach remains and the obsolete workaround can be removed if appropriate.
