8888| `↑` / `↓` | Select a phase or agent |
89| `Enter` or `→` | Drill into the selected phase, then into an agent to read its prompt, recent tool calls, and result |
89| `Enter` or `→` | Drill into the selected phase, then into an agent's detail. In the detail, `Enter` expands or collapses it |
9090| `Esc` or `←` | Back out one level. In v2.1.203 through v2.1.205, `←` didn't step back out of a phase or agent; use `Esc` on those versions |
9191| `j` / `k` | Scroll within the agent detail when it overflows |
9292| `f` | Filter the agent list in the selected phase by status. Press again to cycle |

98The agent detail lists the agent's prompt, its recent tool calls, and its result. Each call shows its state, such as still running or failed. When the agent keeps a task list of its own, the detail shows it too, with each task's status.

100Press `Enter` to expand the detail. The prompt and result then show in full, and each listed call shows its input and the start of its result.

98102## Have Claude write a workflow
99103
100104You can have Claude write a workflow for your task in two ways:
from line 376
372376You can resume a run within the same Claude Code session. What happens to a running workflow when you leave the session depends on how you leave:
373377
374378* If you [background the session](/docs/en/agent-view#what-carries-over-when-you-background), Claude Code replays the run the same way in the background session and continues it.
375* If you exit Claude Code while a workflow is running and [agent view is on](/docs/en/agent-view#from-inside-a-session), the exit dialog offers `Move to background and exit`, which carries the run over the same way. If you choose `Exit and stop tasks` instead, or the option isn't offered, the run stops with the session. Claude Code keeps the run's saved results under that session's directory in `~/.claude/projects/`, so a session you resume with `claude --resume` can replay them when you ask Claude to relaunch the workflow, while a session you start fresh has nothing to replay and starts the workflow over.
379* If you exit Claude Code while a workflow is running and [agent view is on](/docs/en/agent-view#from-inside-a-session), the exit dialog offers `Move to background and exit`, which carries the run over the same way. If you choose `Exit and stop tasks` instead, or the option isn't offered, the run stops with the session. Claude Code keeps the run's saved results under that session's directory in `~/.claude/projects/`, so a session you resume with `claude --resume` can replay them when you ask Claude to relaunch the workflow. In a session you start fresh, Claude has no earlier run to relaunch and starts the workflow over as a new run.
380
381In a [cloud session](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web), Claude Code also saves the run's results with the session's conversation history, which survives when the session's VM is reclaimed. When you [reopen such a session](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web#environment-expired) and ask Claude to relaunch the workflow, completed agents still return their saved results.
382
383In local and cloud sessions alike, when Claude relaunches an earlier run and Claude Code can't find that run's saved results at all, the relaunch fails with a `nothing to resume` error instead of starting the run over on its own. Ask Claude to start the workflow over as a new run.
