Remember State

Persist toggle choices across page visits

By default, toggle state resets when you refresh the page. With persistence enabled, your choices are saved to the browser’s localStorage and restored on your next visit.

Configuration

Enable persistence in your settings:

extensions:
  toggle:
    output-toggle: true
    persist: true

Or per-cell with #| persist: true.

```{r}
#| persist: true
print("This cell's toggle state will be remembered.")
```

Try It

1. Toggle the output below to hide it
2. Refresh the page
3. Your choice should be preserved

cat("Toggle me, then refresh the page.\n")

Toggle me, then refresh the page.

cat("I'll remember whether I was hidden or shown.\n")

I'll remember whether I was hidden or shown.

Clearing Saved State

Toggle states are stored in localStorage using keys like quarto-toggle-/path-cell-0. Each page maintains its own state. To reset:

1. Open browser DevTools (F12)
2. Go to Application → Local Storage
3. Delete keys starting with quarto-toggle-

All data stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.

Summary

Use persist: true to save toggle state in the browser. Useful for documents readers visit repeatedly.
