# Session resume

Session resume means a product documents continuing a saved session; preserved state and cross-device behavior are qualifiers.

- HTML: https://canmyagentuse.com/features/resumable-runs
- JSON: https://canmyagentuse.com/api/v1/features/resumable-runs.json
- Markdown: https://canmyagentuse.com/features/resumable-runs.md

Terminology basis: **Common product term** — https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/cli-usage.

## Current support at a glance

Session resume: 5 supported, 0 partial, 0 unsupported, 26 unreviewed across 31 cataloged products.

- Reviewed current products: 5 of 31
- Supported: 5
- Partial: 0
- Unsupported: 0
- Unreviewed: 26
- Not applicable: 0

Unknown or unreviewed means insufficient published evidence; it does not mean unsupported.

This row asks whether the product documents continuing or resuming a saved session. Viewing a static transcript without continuing it does not count.

Evidence should identify which state survives, the resume window, cross-device behavior, and cases that force a new session. Those details qualify support; they are not hidden requirements in the term.
