Cursor Changelog: Multitask, Worktrees, Multi-root Workspaces

Cursor adds parallel multitasking with async subagents, improved worktrees for branch isolation, and multi-root workspaces for seamless cross-repo changes without retargeting agents.

Cursor Changelog: Multitask, Worktrees, Multi-root Workspaces

TL;DR

  • Async subagents now run in parallel with /multitask instead of queuing
  • Improved worktrees let you run isolated tasks across branches and swap them into focus with one click
  • Multi-root workspaces enable cross-repo changes without retargeting agents between repos

New

  • /multitask command — Run async subagents in parallel to break down larger tasks into chunks instead of waiting in queue
  • Worktrees in Agents Window — Execute isolated background tasks across different branches, then move any branch to your foreground with one click
  • Multi-root workspaces — Single agent session can now target multiple folders, enabling cross-repo changes across frontend, backend, and shared libraries without retargeting

Update Cursor to the latest version from the app.
