Hi,  
I am currently migrating from Logseq to Silverbullet 2.11.

After having copied all markdown files to a separate space, it took a couple of minutes, and then was ready to go. Same for SilverSearch, which needed to index files.

Now one major pain point is, that the whole re-sync and re-index is triggered again for either one of

- Logging out
- Session/cookie expires

I personally don't have need for multiple users (only default `admin` and my `user` account). But since [single-space seems legacy](https://silverbullet.md/Authentication), I kept default multi-user space.

Logging out can be avoided by using separate private browsing window for `admin`. But for session duration apparently there is a hardcoded max value =\> re-sync and re-index every 7 days? In single-space there [was an environment variable](https://silverbullet.md/Install/Configuration) `SB_REMEMBER_ME_HOURS`.

So what is the recommended solution - maybe enabling public access for this space (does that infinitely keep the browser cache/local storage/indexb)? Or does it make sense to re-introduce `SB_REMEMBER_ME_HOURS` for multi-space?

Thanks a lot.

EDIT: Reading [SilverBullet 2.10 released: Enter the MultiSpace - #13 by zef](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/silverbullet-2-10-released-enter-the-multispace/4282/13) , `SB_REMEMBER_ME_HOURS` seems to have been re-added. So these are stable and not legacy? Maybe it would be a good idea to clarify that in [Configuration](https://silverbullet.md/Install/Configuration) as well.
