Feature request: Diff preview + granular accept/reject workflow in OpenAI Codex VS Code extension

OpenAI Developer Community March 16, 2026

Helo, I just switched over from another IDE/extension where this was a native feature. Without it, I can’t clearly see what Codex has changed, and I need a way to track those edits. My codebase is 50,000 lines long; when it modifies 20 different locations, I can’t verify if the changes are correct or even see the logic behind the edits (e.g., if it started at the right place). Currently, I can only see the output in the chat window. I’m using Codex in Windsurf with a Plus subscription and considering upgrading to Pro, but I don’t feel safe using it without this feature – even though I’ve noticed its work is very precise.
