Stop Matlab from reopening sessions

Every time I open MATLAB, it opens all the tabs I had in the previous session. Since I often compare the same scripts in different projects, it's really confusing to have similar scripts next to those I just opened. I know I could close every tab before I quit MATLAB, but this would consume more time than fiddling with settings.

TLDR, can I auto-close everything when quitting or prevent reopening when starting?

Thank you :)

Yes, follow these steps - HOME -> Preferences -> Editor/Debugger -> Opening files in editor

In that section, Untick the option - "On restart reopen files from previous MATLAB session".

In addition to this preference, if you're working with collections of related files that you want to be able to manage as a group the MATLAB Projects functionality may help you organize your files. You can open all the files in a project at once using the project, if I recall correctly.
