How can I protect open tabs in Safari on an iPad

I asked this question before but can’t find it anymore. If I have several tabs open in Safari on my iPad how can I protect them from closing and not being able to find them anymore. The last time I asked I believe I was told to tap and hold the double box in the upper right corner of Safari and make a selection to do this. That selection is not there now. What else can I do?

The easy solution is to regularly “save” all your open tabs. This is simple and quick to achieve - simply touch-and-hold the “book” icon to the left of the Safari Address Bar - then select Add Bookmarks for n Tabs (where “n” corresponds with the number of currently open tabs).


A New Folder window will appear - where you can assign a name for the folder in which all of your open tabs will be saved. I suggest including a “date-code” that suits your purposes within the folder name.
