302### Filter the sessions list
303
304To narrow a long sessions list in the Activity Bar, use the two filter controls at the top of the list. Requires Claude Code v2.1.271 or later. Archived sessions don't appear while either filter is on.
305
306* **Active**: turn on this toggle to show only sessions that need your input, are working, or are unread, plus the session in the Claude tab you last focused.
307* **Filter by status**: click the funnel icon, then check **Needs input**, **Working**, or **Completed** to show sessions in any of those states. Check **Open** or **Closed** to narrow by whether a session is open. A session counts as open when it has a tab in this window or is running in another Claude Code process on this machine, such as in a terminal.
308
309When **Active** is on and you check a status, **Open**, or **Closed**, the list also shows every session that matches your checks. The filters you set persist across window reloads.
