# File Edits Sidebar

The File Edits Sidebar tracks every file that the AI interacts with during a session. It provides visibility into which files have been modified, referenced, or read and those that need review.

* Every file the AI edited appears in the sidebar list
* Click a file to jump directly to the AI session that made the edit
* See how many changes are in each file and navigate between them
* **All Uncommitted Files** mode shows files with pending changes across your project

### Diff Peek

Hover any row in the Files Edited list and a peek icon appears on the right. Click it to open a unified diff popover anchored to the row, so you can see exactly what the agent changed without leaving the session view or opening the file.

* Hover the row to reveal the peek icon
* Click the icon to pin the diff popover
* The popover is resizable, and the size you pick is remembered (it stays in sync with the diff peek in the Git extension and the commit proposal widget)
* Click outside or press Esc to close
