Resume a session

Restore an archived session or adopt a Claude Code CLI transcript from the New Session screen's Resume session view.

You used Turret on a folder before, and want to pick up an earlier session instead of starting fresh.

1. Press the sidebar's New control.
2. Press Resume session in the switch at the top left of the screen. The screen always opens on New session.
3. Pick the folder from the Recent list, or type or browse to it. Its earlier sessions appear under Resume, newest first.
4. Press an archived session's row. Turret restores it and opens it where it stopped.
5. Press an unclaimed Claude Code CLI transcript's row. Turret adopts it into a new row here, in the mode Open CLI sessions in names.

A transcript already open elsewhere shows Adopt anyway in place of the usual label.

Adopting it puts two programs on the same transcript.

A folder with nothing to resume shows "No earlier sessions in this folder."

See Start a session on a folder for the rest of this screen.

See What a session leaves on disk for the archive a restored session comes from. The same page names the CLI transcript file an adopted session comes from.
