[DOCS] Agent view docs omit the `/resume` picker for sessions removed from the list
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view
Section/Topic
“Organize and remove sessions” and command handling in the agent view dispatch input.
Current Documentation
The agent view guide currently says:
“Deleting removes the session from agent view.”
and:
“The conversation transcript stays on your local machine and remains available through claude --resume.”
The guide explains the shell command and how deletion affects the row and worktree, but it does not document a /resume command in agent view itself.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Claude Code 2.1.212 adds a specific agent view workflow: typing /resume in the agent view input opens a picker of past sessions, including sessions deleted from the agent view list, and resumes the selected conversation as a background session.
The current docs only direct users to leave agent view and run claude --resume. They do not explain that recovery can now happen in place, which sessions the picker includes, or that the selected session returns as background work in agent view.
Suggested Improvement
Add a short subsection to the agent view guide describing the new behavior, including:
- typing
/resumein the agent view input opens the past-session picker; - the picker includes sessions removed from the agent view list while their transcripts remain on disk;
- selecting a session resumes it as a background session and restores its row; and
- how this differs from
claude --resumeand/resumeinside a regular interactive session.
Add /resume to the agent view shortcut or command reference near the existing deletion lifecycle documentation.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
Additional Context
Affected Pages:
| Page | Context |
|------|---------|
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view | In-place /resume picker, deleted-row recovery, and background-session lifecycle |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sessions | Existing shell and interactive-session resume workflows to distinguish |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands | /resume command discovery and context-specific behavior |
Total scope: 3 pages should distinguish the agent view workflow from existing resume entry points.
The picker behavior was added in Claude Code 2.1.212; the release notes are listed at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/changelog.
