I’ve used Codex Cloud Web extensively, and the old interface was extremely effective for my workflow.
Since the October redesign, I’m struggling with two major regressions.
1. Task history
The old UI had a compact, chronological task list showing dates, repositories, PR status, and added/removed line counts.
The new UI initially showed only about 20 recent tasks. As of November 13, even those have disappeared.
I verified through Codex CLI that 2,000+ original Legacy tasks still existed, with their metadata and code diffs accessible. Yet the UI doesn’t expose them properly, and some previously working task links now redirect to ChatGPT’s homepage.
2. Iterative code review before committing
My previous workflow was simple:
-
Ask Codex to modify files in my GitHub repository.
-
Review and copy the full code diff, verifying exactly which files and lines changed.
-
Request further iterations and inspect the changes again.
-
Create a PR only after approving the final result.
No premature commits or PRs, and no need for local development.
The new UI does offer Branch and Last Turn comparisons, but I cannot conveniently copy the complete displayed diff or review each iteration as before. The old one-click Create PR action is also missing.
I’ve already migrated my GitHub environment successfully. Repository access works.
Can someone from the Codex team clarify whether the old workflow is still supported, and how to restore it?
I’m attaching screenshots showing what the old interface provided and what is missing today.
