I am currently trying to implement the state restoration extension into my project and I am confused about how it works. There are 2 functions that look like they do the same thing but I am unsure what is different. What is the difference between stateRestore.state.add() and stateRestore.state().save()? When should I use one over the other? Thank you

stateRestore.state().save()will only save/update states that are already created, ie, listed under theSaved Statesbutton. ThestateRestore.state.add()will allow you to create new state which will then be listed under theSaved Statesbutton.You will get a Javascript error when using
stateRestore.state().save()to save a state that doesn't exist. EitherstateRestore.state.add()or theCreate Statebutton will need to be used before you can programmatically save the state usingstateRestore.state().save().Does this help?

That does help my understanding a lot. I am using stateRestore without the buttons so this is definitely good to know thank you!
