Codex Desktop import flow may hide existing workspaces
In 26.609.3341.0, a new “Import from other AI apps” window appeared and offered Claude Code as an app to import from. After continuing, the Codex sidebar filled with imported folders that were not wanted. The Codex s and chats used during the past month no longer appeared in their normal place.
The setup was Windows 11 with bundled 0.140.0-alpha.2. The main concern is whether this is a known problem in the new import or flow, and whether there is a clean way to undo the import and restore the old Codex sidebar and s.
