Launch sessions from links
On Windows, a registered Nova link can open a new session in an existing local folder with an editable request draft. It does not share a saved conversation.Try a request from the documentation
On pages with a Try in Nova button, enter the absolute path to an existing folder on your Windows computer when asked. Install Nova and runnova register-url-handler first if its URL handler is not registered. Registration does not replace another application’s handler.
Nova asks you to confirm the folder (default No), then displays the request for review and editing. It does not send the request automatically. Your usual session permissions and approvals still apply. Do not put secrets or private content in links: URLs can appear in browser history and shared documents. The button needs an interactive terminal and a local folder, not a network share.
If you cannot use a browser link, copy the example request into a Nova session opened in your project folder. Browser links are currently enabled on Windows; macOS and Linux registration is not yet available.
Resume a session safely
Runnova session --help to inspect the installed operations. Before resuming work, confirm the repository path, working-tree state, objective, changed files, and verification evidence.
