Description
Product change
- Source: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/336169
- Merged: 2026-09-14T16:42:49Z
The Sessions list in the Agents Window has a profile-persisted Compact View toggle. Compact rows show only the title at rest and reveal workspace context on hover or keyboard focus while preserving full accessible labels.
Why the docs need an update
docs/agents/run/sessions/manage-sessions.md explains how to organize the sessions list but does not describe its compact presentation mode.
Suggested documentation
docs/agents/run/sessions/manage-sessions.md: Add the Compact View control, persistence, and information shown in compact rows.
Acceptance criteria
- The sessions-list documentation explains how to enable and disable Compact View.
- The compact row and workspace-context behavior are accurate.
