Your past chats live in the sidebar. Open it, then look under **Pinned** for chats you pinned and under **Recents** for your other chats. Tap a chat to carry on where you stopped. Search, grouping and sorting are in the same place.

## Open the sidebar

1. Tap the sidebar button in the top-left corner of the screen. Swiping the screen to the right also opens it.
2. Look under **Pinned** for chats you pinned. Your unpinned chats are under **Recents**.
3. Tap a chat to open it. A chat without a title is listed as "Untitled Chat".

Recents shows 30 chats at first. Tap **Show more** at the bottom of the list to load 30 more. Once every chat is showing, the same spot offers **Show less**, which folds the list back to the first 30.

## What you won't find in Recents

- Chats you moved into a project. Open the project from the **Projects** section of the sidebar instead.
- Archived chats. See "Find an archived chat" below.

## Search your chats

1. Tap **Search** at the top of the sidebar.
2. Type part of a chat's title. The list narrows as you type, and pinned chats come first.
3. Tap a result to open it. Tap **New chat** at the top of the list to start a fresh conversation instead.

Search compares what you type with chat titles and ignores capital letters. It does not look inside the messages, so use words that appear in the title. It lists the same chats as Recents, so chats in projects and archived chats do not show up in it, and neither does a chat that still has the title "New Chat".

## Change how Recents is grouped and sorted

Tap the options button on the Recents heading. The menu has three groups:

| Group | Choices |
| --- | --- |
| Organize | **By date** groups chats under Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 days, Previous 30 days and Older. **Chronological list** shows one flat list with no headings. |
| Sort by | **Updated** orders chats by their latest activity. **Created** orders them by when you started them. |
| Show | **All chats** lists everything. **Unread** lists only chats that carry an unread dot: ones you marked as unread, and ones where a run finished that you have not opened yet. |

Press and hold any chat to open its menu, where **Mark as unread** or **Mark as read** changes that chat's marker. The same menu has **Pin**, **Rename**, **Archive** and **Delete**.

## Find an archived chat

Archiving removes a chat from Recents without deleting it. Right after you archive one, a small "Archived chat" notice appears with **View** and **Undo**. To come back to it later:

1. Tap your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Settings**.
2. Open **Data controls** and tap **Manage** on the Archived chats row.
3. Tap **Restore** next to a chat to put it back in your list.
