Starting a New Conversation

Click the New Chat button

Click the New Chat button at the top of the sidebar, or use the Ctrl + Shift + O shortcut.

Enable Temporary Chat mode to skip saving the conversation history. Useful for testing sensitive content or one-off questions.

Searching Chat History

Use the search box at the top of the sidebar to find conversations.
  • Title search: Search by auto-generated chat titles
  • Content search: Full-text search of conversation content
  • Tag filter: Use tag:tagname syntax to filter conversations with a specific tag
The chat list uses scroll-based pagination. Older conversations load automatically as you scroll down.

Editing and Deleting Messages

Editing User Messages

When you edit a sent user message, the original message is preserved and the AI generates a new response based on the edit. This creates a conversation branch.

1

Hover the message

Hover over the message you want to edit.
2

Click the edit button

Click the Edit icon that appears on the right side of the message.
3

Edit and send

Type your edits and click Send — the AI generates a new response. Click Save to update the content only without generating a new response.

Editing AI Responses

You can directly edit AI responses too. Editing preserves the original so you can revert at any time.

Deleting Messages

When you delete a message, its child responses are reattached to the parent so the conversation flow stays intact.

Branch Navigation

When a message has multiple branches, an indicator like 1/3 appears below it. Use the left/right arrows to navigate between branch responses.

Create a folder

Click New Folder in the sidebar and enter a folder name.
