# Reopening
| Key |                                                                                                               |
|-----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `R` | Reopen: resume the agent's session, recreating the worktree from its branch if it was removed                 |
| `O` | Start a new session from this prompt ([Starting again](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/start-work/again)) |

If the agent no longer has the session, reopening starts it fresh with the same prompt.
