How to open a thread review
Teams typically reach a thread review from:- A link in Usage
- A direct thread review URL
- Links Slack Agent provides in a specific run or thread, when available
From overview to execution detail
Thread reviews are organized in three layers:- Thread overview: the high-level summary covering all runs in the thread
- Individual runs: each runβs outcome, timing, context usage, and status
- Execution detail: the deepest layer showing commands, tool calls, and moment-by-moment activity
Two inspection tabs
Thread reviews provide two main views:- Conversation
- Diff
The Conversation tab shows the narrative flow of the run:
- The execution hero (goal, outcome, draft status)
- Key moments such as investigation, editing, tool use, and recovery
- Proof sections linking to the commands and changes that produced the result
- Why the result should be trusted (the narrative βreview storyβ)
What you can inspect
Across both tabs, common review layers include:- Run history and status across the thread
- Context used during each run (repositories, connections, knowledge)
- Diffs and changed files with per-file patches
- Narrative moments (investigate, edit, tool use, recovery, reply)
- Exported artifacts and deep links
Navigating between runs
When a thread has multiple runs, the thread overview lists them in order. Select any run to see its execution hero, conversation narrative, and diffs. Earlier runs are compressed so you can focus on the most recent result while still having full history available.Best way to read a thread review
- Start with the thread overview and execution hero.
- Open the most relevant run.
- Check the Conversation tab for the narrative and proof.
- Switch to the Diff tab when you need to see exactly what changed.
- Drop into deeper execution layers only when you need to understand how the result was produced.
