Chat List

Most of the sidebar is occupied by the chat list, organized into the following sections in order:
Real-time team messaging space. Shown when admins have enabled the Channels feature.
  • Click a channel to jump to its message list
  • Admins can use the + button to create a new channel
List of scheduled automatic tasks. Shows each task’s name and active status.
A personal workspace that manages documents and chats together. Projects you’ve created or been shared appear here (sharing creates an independent copy).
Your personal conversations, sorted by time. Supports:
  • Pinned: Pin important conversations at the top
  • Folders: Organize chats into folders. Use New Folder to create one, then drag and drop chats
  • Time-range groups: Auto-grouped into Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 days, Previous 30 days, and by month

If the multi-model comparison feature isn’t visible to regular users, the admin has disabled the corresponding permission (multiple_models).

Chat Menu (More)

After you send the first message, a More (⋯) menu appears at the right of the header, offering Share, Overview, Download, Copy, and Tags. See Chat Overview for details.

Notification History

Click the bell icon at the right of the header to open the system notification history panel. It collects notifications such as file processing completion, errors, and permission changes. Opening the panel marks unread notifications as read and clears the badge.
Background task progress is also integrated into the notification center — Knowledge Base file uploads/metadata extraction, DbSphere syncs, glossary DB extraction, Knowledge Graph syncs, and other long-running tasks all stream their progress here in real time. Once the task completes, the notification stays in this panel so you can review the result.

Chat Message Area

The center of the screen displays the conversation between the user and the AI.
