Codex Desktop: move Archive away from Rename/Pin in task context menu

Open 💬 1 comment Opened Jul 15, 2026 by Jason-Wang313

What happened?

In Codex Desktop, when right-clicking a task/session in the sidebar, the context menu places Archive very close to common non-destructive actions like Rename and Pin.

This makes it easy to accidentally archive a task when the intended action is just to rename or pin it. I have already mispressed Archive while trying to use Rename.

Why this is a problem

Archive is a higher-impact action than Rename or Pin because it removes the task from the active sidebar flow. Even if it can be undone or found later, an accidental archive is disruptive and surprising compared with the nearby actions.

Expected behavior

Please separate Archive from lower-risk actions such as Rename and Pin in the task/session right-click menu. Possible fixes:

  • Put Archive in a separate menu group with a divider.
  • Move Archive farther away from Rename and Pin.
  • Place destructive or visibility-changing actions near the bottom of the menu.
  • Consider an undo affordance after archiving, if not already present.

Environment

  • Product: Codex Desktop app
  • Area: Sidebar task/session right-click context menu
