  "textContent": "Hi everyone! If you want to rename your threads, you can do it manually by editing the local index file. Here is how:\n\n  1. Close VS Code.\n\n  2. Go to this folder path on your computer:\n`C:\\Users\\<Your-Username>\\.codex\\`\n_(Replace`C` with your drive partition and `<Your-Username>` with your Windows profile name)._\n\n  3. Look for the file named **`session_index.jsonl`**.\n\n  4. Open it using a text editor like **Notepad++** or **VS Code**.\n\n  5. Find the thread you want to rename, change its text value, and save the file.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you reopen VS Code, your chat threads will show the new names!",
