Browse and preview files

Use the Files panel to browse the active Code folder and open content beside the task transcript.

Browse and open files

  1. Open the Code session and confirm its working folder.
  2. Choose Add a panel → Files.
  3. Expand directories and select a file to open it in a workspace tab.
  4. Use Filter loaded files to narrow the loaded tree, or the changed-file view and Filter changed files when inspecting edits.
  5. Open text, image, or diff views as appropriate for the selected file.

The loaded-tree filter is not a promise of full-text search through every file in the repository. A changed-file view describes observed filesystem/Git state, not necessarily changes made by the currently selected agent alone.

Read file, diff, and Markdown previews

The file tab is a read-only viewer in this build. Use its File or Diff view when available; Markdown files also provide Preview and Source choices. Images open in an image preview. There is no in-app text-edit or Save control in this viewer.

To change a file, request the edit through the main Code task with the appropriate permissions, or use your external editor. Then inspect the saved content and Git diff in Rudr. A visible preview is not a separate editable buffer and does not itself change the repository.

The available view depends on file type, size, and read permissions. Binary or large files may be unavailable as text. An archived Code session is read-only and must be restored before submitting new coding work.

Attach context deliberately

Use the composer’s attachment or file-mention controls when you want a file included in a request. Opening a file tab alone does not guarantee that its full contents have been sent to the model. Confirm the attachment and refer to the intended path in your message.

If a file is absent, verify the actual folder and drive before recreating it. See workspace troubleshooting, Git review, and file restoration limits.

Instructions have been reviewed against the application source; native setup and account walkthroughs remain to be verified. Platform and provider limitations are described above.
