Windsurf: Devin's Progress Tab Shows Session Tasks as a Live Drawer
WindsurfWindsurf's Devin web app now shows a session's task list as a live drawer inside the Progress tab. Clicking a task filters the Activity stream down to the work Devin did for that task. Each session now has a single Progress tab, and the separate Tasks tab is retired.
Key Takeaways
- The task list is now a live drawer in the Progress tab, so progress is visible without switching views.
- Clicking a task filters the Activity stream to just the work done for it, which makes long sessions easier to audit.
- The separate Tasks tab is retired, leaving a single Progress tab per session.
- The change builds on the unified Activity view Windsurf shipped on October 26, tying plan and actions together.
- Reviewing agent work becomes a plan-versus-actions comparison in one screen rather than two.
- The update affects the Devin web app session UI, and no setup is needed to use it.
A Task List That Stays Beside the Work
Windsurf's Devin web app changed how a session's task list is displayed. The list of tasks Devin is working through now appears as a live drawer inside the Progress tab, so users can see which tasks are pending, running or finished without leaving the view they are already watching.
Click a Task to Filter the Activity Stream
The drawer is connected to the Activity stream that Windsurf introduced earlier in the week. Clicking a task filters the stream to the work done for that task. A long session that touches many files and commands can be narrowed to the steps behind one task, which makes it quicker to check what Devin did and why.
One Progress Tab Per Session
Each session now has a single Progress tab. The separate Tasks tab has been retired, and its content lives in the drawer. Users who previously switched between two tabs to compare the plan against what had happened now find both in one place.
Why It Matters
Reviewing an agent's session is mostly a matter of matching intent to actions. Putting the task list next to a filterable stream of actions shortens that loop, and removing a tab reduces the number of places to look in a session.
