Auto-generated names help you find sessions quickly when switching between multiple backgrounded sessions.
You can also name a session at startup with the `--name` flag, and resume it by name later:
```bash
copilot --name "auth-refactor" # start a session with a given name
copilot --resume="auth-refactor" # resume that session by name
```
The `/session delete` command removes sessions you no longer need:
```
/session delete # delete the current session
/session delete <id> # delete a session by ID
/session delete-all # delete all sessions
```
You can also press **x** on a highlighted session in the session picker (`--resume`) to delete it directly from the list.
In the session picker, press **`s`** to cycle the sort order: relevance, last used, created, or name. The picker also shows the branch name and idle/in-use status for each session.
The `/rewind` command opens a timeline picker that lets you roll back the conversation to any earlier point in history, reverting both the conversation and any file changes made after that point. You can also trigger it by pressing **double-Esc**:

The `/statusline` command (with `/footer` as an alias) lets you control which items appear in the terminal status bar. You can show or hide individual indicators like the working directory, current branch, effort level, context window usage, and quota. The **changes** toggle shows a running count of added/removed lines for the session — useful when tracking the scope of an ongoing edit:
```
/statusline # show the statusline configuration menu
```
The `/keep-alive` command prevents the system from sleeping while Copilot CLI is active. This is useful during long-running agent sessions on laptops or machines with aggressive sleep settings:
```
/keep-alive # toggle keep-alive on or off
```
> **Note**: `/keep-alive` was previously an experimental feature. As of v1.0.36, it is available without enabling experimental mode.
The `/allow-all` command (also accessible as `/yolo`) enables autopilot mode, where the agent runs all tools without asking for confirmation. It now supports `on`, `off`, and `show` subcommands:
