Dialogs are the small windows Oda opens over the app when a step needs your answer: to confirm something that does not undo easily, or to ask you to accept a risk before a step goes ahead. They share the same closing rules and name their action on the button, so you can see what each choice will do before you make it.
Some dialogs stay open while their step is carried out. Both buttons lock, and a line under the text shows what is happening, for example Deleting workspace… or Stopping and archiving…. The close control, Escape and a click outside do nothing until it finishes; the dialog then closes itself, or keeps the message when the step fails so you can try again.
A confirmation names the target in its title and says what will happen before you commit; the action sits on the right and is named for the step:
Uninstall "{name}"?): what the plugin provides goes away once it is uninstalled.Disconnect {name}?): Oda signs out of that app on this computer, and its tools leave your chats. You can connect it again later.Remove {name}?): the server's tools will no longer be available in chats, and you can add the server again later.Stop and archive this session?): the dialog lists the work that will be stopped, and says you can restore the session later from Show archived and that the stopped work will not resume on its own.Some steps cannot go through with a single click; they open a dialog that asks you to acknowledge the risk:
Each time such a dialog opens, the box starts unticked. If the choice cannot be used at that moment, both the checkbox and the action lock.
You meet this pattern when you turn on Full access or Auto review, when you turn on an advanced feature for the first time, and on some choices in the command menu. For the two modes, see Permission presets and Auto review; for the feature switchboard, see Advanced features.
Closing a dialog always withdraws it: the step does not run and nothing changes. The close control, Escape, a click outside and Cancel all do the same.
If a menu inside the dialog is open, Escape belongs to that menu first. Press Escape again to close the dialog.
Some steps have lasting effects, for example turning on Full access, so Oda asks you to acknowledge the risk instead of accepting a single click. The action stays unavailable until the box is ticked; if you close the dialog instead, nothing is applied and your current setting stays as it was.
A red action marks a step that removes or stops something, rather than changing a setting; read the description once more before you choose it. The dialogs for deleting a workspace, stopping and archiving a session, and uninstalling a plugin show their action in red.
No. While a dialog carries out its step, both buttons lock and the close control, Escape and a click outside do nothing. It closes itself when the step finishes.
Deletions and removals confirm first: uninstalling a plugin, disconnecting a connected app, removing a server, deleting a workspace, a skill, a memory or a scheduled task, and stopping and archiving a session. Risk acknowledgements are the second group: turning on Full access or Auto review, and the first turn-on of an advanced feature.
No. Each time a risk dialog opens, the acknowledgement starts unticked, and you tick it again. An advanced feature is the exception: once you accept its risks, the acceptance is recorded for your account, so its dialog does not ask again.
The dialog stays open with the message explaining what went wrong, and its buttons unlock so you can try again. Closing it leaves everything as it was.
