File Changes Panel Disappeared – Is There a Setting to Enable It Again?

Hi everyone,

Previously, Cursor AI had a “File Changes” panel that automatically listed all modified files while the AI was generating or editing code (similar to the screenshot below).

Recently, after updating Cursor, this feature has disappeared. Now when the AI edits my code, I no longer see the File Changes list.

Does anyone know:

  • Was this feature removed?
  • Is there a setting that needs to be enabled to bring it back?
  • Is it only available in certain modes (Agent, Composer, etc.)?
  • Or is this a bug in the latest version?

I’d appreciate any help. I found this feature extremely useful because I could quickly review all modified files before accepting the changes.

Thanks!

Hey there! Nothing is broken and none of your edits are at risk. This was a recent change to where that summary shows up, not a removal of the review workflow.

To your questions:

  • Was it removed? Not exactly. The “N Files Changed” summary card in your screenshot now shows in the Agents Window rather than in the classic editor’s chat. You can open it with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → Open Agents Window.
  • Is there a setting to bring it back? There’s no toggle for that specific card today.
  • Is it mode-specific (Agent vs Composer)? No, it isn’t tied to a particular mode.
  • Is it a bug? No, it’s an intentional change to where the card lives.

The key part: in the classic editor you haven’t lost the ability to review changed files before accepting. While you have pending edits, the review bar at the bottom of the chat (just above the input box) shows an “N Files” summary you can expand to see every changed file, and the Review button opens the full diff view where you can go through each file and Keep or Undo them. If you specifically want that standalone card, the Agents Window is where it lives now.

Let me know if the review bar isn’t showing up on your end and I’ll dig in further.
