After using features such as derived conversations, a project may accumulate many threads, making them hard to find. This is when you need the archive and delete features to organize threads.
Archiving Threads
The default thread operations in the Codex App do not support deletion, only archiving. Here's how:
Click the icon shown in the image above to archive the thread. After archiving, a notification appears indicating that archiving is complete; you can also undo the archive from this notification to restore the thread, as shown in the image below.
Finding Archived Threads
You can find archived threads in the settings (shortcut Cmd + ,) and restore them at any time.
Just select the thread you want to restore and click the unarchive button on the right.
Notes
After archiving, note the following:
After archiving a thread, any scripts and terminal commands running in the thread will be automatically terminated; if the AI is still generating a reply, it will also be terminated;
Threads that have been removed from a project cannot be restored.
Deleting Threads
Codex only allows archiving first and deleting afterward.
In other words, only archived threads can be deleted. On the archived conversations page in settings, click the "Delete All" button and confirm to delete all currently archived threads, as shown in the image below.
You can also delete only specified threads by clicking the corresponding delete button, as shown in the image below.
Next Steps
We can now complete a full small project. But after archiving a thread, you have to re-enter commands in the terminal of a new thread every time to run the project and continue adjusting it, which is really inconvenient. What should we do about this?
