Cursor Chat apply code change button disappeared?

Does anyone know is the “apply code” button is removed from chat and ask mode already.

I found very useful before but seems now I cannot find it anymore.

Hey, thanks for the request. Yep, the Apply button in Ask/Chat mode no longer shows up, and that’s an intentional change. In those modes, code blocks only have Copy now.

If you want the model to apply changes to files directly, use Agent mode, which is the default. It edits files via tool calls, so there’s no manual Apply step. If you only need reasoning or discussion without edits, stick to Ask mode and copy code over manually.

Let me know if anything doesn’t fit your workflow.

i see… before i usually use ask mode to update some code, which I could review and apply necessary code changes to that. Agent mode helps allow for multiple files changes but not special file.

Got your workflow. You want a targeted edit of one file, with a review before it gets applied. This works in Agent mode, just without a separate Apply button.

To limit changes to a single file, open the file you want or @-mention it in your request and clearly ask to edit only that file, like “edit only this file”. The Agent will make changes and show a diff. You can review it and then Accept or Reject before the changes stay in the file. So the review step is still there, it’s just built into the Agent mode diff instead of a chat button.

If you want to discuss things or get code without auto edits, stay in Ask mode and copy it manually via Copy.

Let me know if this flow doesn’t cover what you need.
