Inline Review feature with keep/revert missing since recent updates

Hello, the inline diffs really help.

I am running Cursor on Windows 11 Pro. My buddy uses Cursor in Linux and says he still sees inline diffs with the review per code block functionality (the keep/revert).

This feature is missing and I was unable to find the option to toggle it back on in settings (gear icon).

Hey this is not a bug but a mix up with settings after the update. In Cursor 3 the new Agents Window opens by default and the Applying Changes section with the Inline Diffs toggle is hidden in it. It is only in the classic Editor Window. That is why you can’t find the option through the gear icon.

What to do:

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and run Open Editor Window.
  2. In this window go to Cursor Settings > Agents > Applying Changes and turn on Inline Diffs.

When Inline Diffs is off auto-keep works. Changes apply right away without review UI. Turn it on and you will get back the red/green diffs with Keep and Undo.

By the way this is not about Windows vs Linux. Your colleague on Linux is almost certainly just using the Editor Window not the Agents Window. The feature is not tied to the OS.

Optionally you can turn off Settings > Agents > Open Agents Window on Startup so the Editor Window opens by default. If the Agents Window still opens after that a restart helps or switch manually with Ctrl+Shift+N.

Let me know if the diffs still don’t show up.

Hello, it works now. Thanks.
