Description
🌈 Feature
If you "refresh" the codesandbox page, all your previous open files/tabs would be restored.
This is useful for when the app stops compiling (having some issues with Vue, the preview window freezes) You can just hit "refresh" on your browser, and get all your files/tabs back, with working Vue build.
Not sure how would go about implementing, maybe it's already implemented and I'm just refreshing the page wrong?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how the Codesandbox page tracks open files and tabs, then determine whether that state survives a browser refresh; done means previously open files and tabs are restored after refreshing, including for the Vue workflow described.
