Windsurf: Devin Local Adds Shareable Conversation Links

WindsurfView original changelog

Windsurf's Devin Local agent now supports Share Conversation, letting developers generate a team-visible link to a sanitized transcript of any completed agent turn. The upload strips system prompts and tool definitions, redacts secrets, and normalizes file paths before the link is created, making it safe to hand off debugging context or review an agent's reasoning without exposing sensitive project details. The feature ships as part of the broader v3.7.16 release, which also polished the Agent Command Center and improved worktree and terminal handling across Devin Desktop.

Key Takeaways

  • Windsurf's Devin Local now supports Share Conversation, generating a team-visible link to a sanitized agent transcript directly from the turn's actions menu.
  • The shared transcript strips system prompts and tool definitions, redacts detected secrets, and normalizes file paths, making it safe to distribute without manual cleanup.
  • The feature targets collaborative debugging and review, letting teammates read through an agent's reasoning without a live screen-share.
  • The same release made mid-turn reverting more reliable — revert buttons now appear as soon as a prompt is sent, and reverting cancels an in-progress turn cleanly.
  • v3.7.16 also refreshed the Agent Command Center's visual polish, including tab indicators and smoother Quick Open navigation.
  • Windsurf improved worktree reliability, surfacing git errors instead of silently running in the wrong workspace, and enabled in-editor terminal creation inside worktrees.

Devin Local Gets Shareable Conversation Links

Windsurf's v3.7.16 release introduces Share Conversation, a new way for developers using the Devin Local agent to hand off context to teammates without screen-sharing or manually copy-pasting a transcript. The feature is accessible directly from the actions menu below any completed agent turn, and it works as soon as a prompt has finished running — no extra setup required.

How It Works

Clicking Share Conversation uploads a sanitized copy of the transcript and copies a team-visible link to the clipboard. Windsurf built the sanitization step to make sharing safe by default: system prompts and internal tool definitions are dropped entirely, any secrets detected in the transcript are redacted, and file paths are normalized so local machine details aren't leaked to teammates. The result is a link that preserves the substance of what the agent did and why, while stripping out the parts of a session that shouldn't leave a developer's machine.

This closes a common workflow gap for teams debugging together or reviewing how an agent approached a task. Instead of describing what Devin Local did in a Slack message or exporting logs manually, a developer can now share a single link that a teammate can open and read through directly.

Part of a Broader Reliability and Polish Pass

The same release also made reverting more predictable in Devin Local: revert buttons now appear as soon as a prompt is sent (rather than after the agent finishes), and reverting mid-turn correctly cancels the in-progress work first instead of leaving it in an inconsistent state. Together with Share Conversation, these changes reflect a continued focus on making agent sessions easier to inspect, trust, and collaborate around.

Elsewhere in v3.7.16, Devin Desktop received visual polish to the Agent Command Center (aligned titlebar, unsaved-changes indicators on tabs, smoother Quick Open behavior), more reliable worktree handling (git errors now surface instead of silently falling back to the main workspace, and in-editor terminal creation works inside worktrees), and a handful of smaller fixes across Desktop, Local, and Cloud.
