[DOCS] VS Code docs missing session rename/remove actions in conversation history UI

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Feb 28, 2026 by coygeek Closed Mar 1, 2026

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/vs-code

Section/Topic

"Resume past conversations" workflow in the VS Code extension docs.

Current Documentation

Current docs describe browsing and resuming sessions:

"Click the dropdown at the top of the Claude Code panel to access your conversation history... Click any conversation to resume it"

No instructions are provided for managing sessions directly from that list (rename/remove).

What's Wrong or Missing?

Release v2.1.63 added:

"VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list"

The docs don't mention where these actions appear or how to use them safely.

Suggested Improvement

In the session history section, add:

  • How to access rename/remove actions from the sessions list
  • What "remove" does (local deletion vs remote impacts)
  • Any constraints (for example, current session, remote sessions, or confirmation dialogs)

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
