Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
Codex App
What feature would you like to see?
Add a “Show archived threads” toggle beside the back/forward navigation buttons. Turning it on should include archived threads alongside active threads in the sidebar; turning it off should hide them again.
I archive threads to keep active work tidy, but want to browse them without going into Settings.
