Cursor Agents Window: Multi-Agent UI, Cloud Runs & PR Handoff
The Agents Window is Cursor's agent-first interface: run parallel cloud agents across workspaces, review diffs and PRs in one place, hand off with /in-cloud and /babysit, and use worktrees for isolated Git checkouts. Open it with Cmd+Shift+P → Open Agents Window; return to the classic editor with Open Editor Window. Enterprise admins can gate rollout for the first two weeks after Cursor 3 launch.

How do I switch between Agents Window and the editor?
- 1To Agents Window: Command Palette → Open Agents Window (Cmd+Shift+P).
- 2Back to editor: Command Palette → Open Editor Window.
- 3Quick file peek: Cmd+P (file search) and Cmd+Shift+F (search all files) work inside Agents Window without leaving agent mode.
What can I do only in the Agents Window?
- Multi-workspace: manage agents across projects from one surface.
- Parallel cloud agents: run many agents in the cloud; monitor from desktop, web, Slack, GitHub or Linear.
- Diffs and PRs: review, commit and manage pull requests without switching apps.
- Cloud subagents:
/in-cloudand/babysitfor long-running VM work on its own branch. - Worktrees: isolated Git checkouts so parallel tasks do not stomp the same files.
When should I stay in the classic editor instead?
Use the editor when you want VS Code extensions, flexible split panes and manual file navigation across many open tabs. Use the Agents Window when agents write most of the code and you orchestrate parallel runs. You can switch anytime; Cursor supports both experiences.
How do Enterprise admins control Agents Window access?
For two weeks after the Cursor 3 launch window documented by Cursor, Enterprise admins could restrict Agents Window to specific users or enable it org-wide from Team settings. After that rollout period, access is on by default unless your org policy says otherwise. Confirm current controls in your admin dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run local and cloud agents in the same window?
Yes. Agents Window is built for handoff: move a task to the cloud to keep working, then pull it local to iterate quickly.
Do worktrees replace Git branches?
Worktrees are separate checkouts for agent isolation. You still merge through normal Git/PR flows when the task is done.
Is Design Mode available in Agents Window?
Yes. Design Mode runs in the in-window browser; toggle with Cmd+Shift+D. See the Design Mode guide for visual editing.
