Follow Task Progress

When the agent keeps a to-do list for a longer task, the session header summarizes it, for example 3/5 to-dos done. Use it to see what is finished and what is still open without scrolling through the transcript.

Read the list

Select the summary in the session header to expand the list. Completed items are checked; open items are not.

Return to a completed item

Each completed item marks a checkpoint. When the session is idle, select a completed item to revert the session to the point where that item was finished. Hover over the item first: the Checkpoints tooltip shows that a restore point exists.

Reverting hides the later messages and, when a file checkpoint exists, restores the workspace files to that point. A banner shows how many messages were reverted; select Redo to bring them back before you send a new message. Use it when the work after that point went in the wrong direction. File restore requires a Git repository and enabled checkpoints.

Ask for a list when it helps

For work with several dependent steps, ask the agent to create and maintain a to-do list. Keep the items focused on observable outcomes, such as a file changed, a test passing, or a decision recorded.

A completed list shows the agent's own progress report. Review tool results, tests, and diffs before you consider the work done. See Review the result and changes.
