Currently, deleting sessions in the Control UI requires selecting checkboxes and using the bulk delete bar. This works for batch operations but is cumbersome for quick single-session actions.

Proposed changes:

  1. Per-row action button — Add a 🗑️ (delete) and/or 📦 (archive) icon button at the end of each session row in the Sessions table, next to the existing data. This would allow one-click delete/archive without the checkbox dance.

  2. Archive option — Currently only hard delete is available. Adding an "Archive" action would move sessions to cold storage (out of the active list) while preserving their data for potential future recovery. Archived sessions could be shown in a separate filtered view or toggled via a filter.

  3. Optional: Actions dropdown — For a cleaner UI, a "⋮" or dropdown per row could expose: Delete, Archive, Duplicate, etc.

Why:

  • Quick cleanup of old/test sessions without multi-step selection
  • Archive is safer than delete — users may want to preserve history without cluttering the active list
  • Matches common UX patterns in similar management UIs

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add a per-row action button for delete and/or archive to simplify single-session actions in the Control UI.

Guidance

  • Consider adding a delete icon button (🗑️) at the end of each session row to enable one-click deletion.
  • Introduce an "Archive" action to move sessions to cold storage, preserving data for potential future recovery, and display archived sessions in a separate filtered view.
  • Evaluate the addition of an actions dropdown (⋮) per row to expose multiple actions, such as Delete, Archive, and Duplicate, for a cleaner UI.
  • Assess the feasibility of implementing these changes while maintaining a consistent user experience across the UI.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue focuses on UI design and functionality changes rather than specific code implementations.

Notes

The proposed changes aim to improve the user experience by simplifying single-session actions and providing a safer alternative to deletion. However, the implementation details and technical requirements are not specified in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add per-row action buttons for delete and archive to improve the user experience and provide a safer alternative to deletion. This change aligns with common UX patterns in similar management UIs and addresses the need for quick cleanup of old/test sessions.
