The session diff viewer shows all file changes made during a session, organized by directory structure or change type. This gives you a complete overview of what the AI has modified.
Accessing the diff
Open the diff viewer in two ways:
- Click the diff icon in the session header
- Open the sidebar and navigate to the Diff tab
The diff viewer is available at any time during or after a session.
View modes
Choose between two organizational modes:
Tree mode
Files are organized by directory structure:
- Mirrors your project’s folder hierarchy
- Expandable/collapsible directories
- Easy to see changes in a specific part of your codebase
Grouped mode
Files are grouped by change type:
- Modified: Files that were edited
- Created: New files that were added
- Deleted: Files that were removed
Switch between modes using the view selector at the top of the diff viewer.
Diff display
The diff viewer supports two display styles:
Unified view
Single column showing additions and removals inline:
- Green lines: Additions (prefixed with +)
- Red lines: Removals (prefixed with -)
- White lines: Unchanged context
Split view
Side-by-side comparison:
- Left side: Original content
- Right side: Modified content
- Synchronized scrolling: Both sides scroll together
Navigating changes
Click any file in the list to jump to its diff:
- Instant navigation: The diff scrolls to show the selected file
- Highlighted changes: Additions in green, removals in red
- Context: See surrounding unchanged code for context
This makes it easy to review changes across multiple files quickly.
Use the diff viewer before committing changes to review everything the AI did in a session. It’s like git diff but organized by the AI’s work.
