Session History
Resume previous conversations or branch off from past sessions.
Agent Support
Session history features are agent-specific. Not all agents support all features.
Opening Session History
Click the History button (clock icon) in the chat header to open the session history modal.
Available Actions
Depending on the agent's capabilities, you can perform the following actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Restore | Resume the session where you left off |
| Fork | Create a new branch from that point in the conversation |
| Delete | Remove the session from history |
TIP
Not all actions are available for every agent. The modal shows only the actions supported by your current agent.
Session Storage
Sessions are saved automatically when you send messages. The plugin stores:
- Session metadata: Title (derived from your first message), timestamps, and working directory
- Message history: Full conversation including agent responses, tool calls, and plans
Where Sessions Are Stored
Sessions are saved in two places:
- Plugin side: Stored locally in Obsidian's data folder
- Agent side: Managed by the agent
Restore vs Fork
Restore
Restoring a session continues the existing conversation:
- The agent reconnects to the previous session
- Your conversation history is displayed
- New messages continue the same session
Use restore when you want to continue where you left off.
Fork
Forking creates a new session branching from a previous point:
- A new session is created with a copy of the conversation up to that point
- The original session remains unchanged
- New messages go to the forked session
Use fork when you want to explore a different direction without affecting the original conversation.
Deleting Sessions
To delete a session:
- Click the Delete button (trash icon) on the session
- Confirm the deletion in the dialog
WARNING
Deletion removes the session from the plugin's local storage only. The session still exists on the agent side.
Troubleshooting
"This agent does not support session restoration"
The current agent doesn't provide session restore/fork capabilities. You can still view and delete locally saved sessions.
"Preparing agent..."
The agent is still initializing. Wait a moment for the agent to become ready.
"No previous sessions"
No sessions have been saved yet for the current agent and vault. Start a new conversation to create your first session.
