# Claude Code adds a manager view for parallel agent sessions

By Steven Van · 2026-05-11

The research preview lists every session's status and lets you reply inline, available now on Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise and API plans.

Claude Code has added agent view, a single screen for managing every running session. Press the left arrow from any session, or run **claude agents**, to see a list showing each session's status, whether it needs input, its last response, and when it was last touched.

- Select a session to peek at its last turn; if it's waiting on a decision, reply inline and it picks back up. Press enter to attach to the full transcript.

- Add an existing session to agent view with **/bg**, or start a new one directly in the background with **claude --bg \[task\]**.

Anthropic says early users have used it to run several sessions in parallel and return to a list of pull requests ready for review, to track long-running loops like PR babysitters and dashboard updaters (which show their next run time in the list), and to jump between sessions without losing a running task.

Agent view is a research preview available now on Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise, and [Claude](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/claude>) API plans, requiring Claude Code v2.1.139 or later. Opt in by running claude agents; usual rate limits apply. Read the [full announcement](<https://claude.com/blog/agent-view-in-claude-code>).
