Conversations and History

Every chat is kept, so you can come back to it. The history drawer in the panel lists your conversations; the answers inside each one carry their own record of what the assistant did.

Your conversations are yours alone

Nobody else can list, read or search your conversations — including an administrator. There is no shared view of them.

They are deleted after the retention period, 90 days by default, together with their attachments. See AI Policy and Limits.

Start a new chat

Click New chat in the panel. The conversation is titled from your first message, so open with the actual question rather than "hi".

A new chat also clears anything carried by the previous one — a Skill you named with /, its attachments, and its accumulated context.

Find an old one

Open the history drawer. Conversations are grouped, newest first:

GroupContains
PinnedPinned conversations, kept at the top
TodayToday's
YesterdayYesterday's
This weekEarlier this week
This monthEarlier this month
OlderEverything before that

Each group shows 8 conversations with a Show more to expand it.

Search runs across your own conversations only, matching their content.

Rename and delete

  • Rename happens in place: click the title, type, and it is saved.
  • Delete is two-step — you confirm before anything is removed. A deleted conversation and its attachments are gone.

Which project a conversation is about

A conversation's project comes from the scope selector in the composer footer. Change it there — see Modes and Scope.

Reading an answer

The evidence list

Under an answer sits a collapsed "N steps of evidence". Open it and you see what the assistant actually did, with the outcome of each step:

OutcomeMeaning
SucceededThe step ran and returned what it needed
You declinedYou rejected the change — see Approving Changes in Build Mode
Not permittedYour role or the policy does not allow it
Not foundWhat it looked for does not exist
FailedIt ran and errored

This is how you check an answer's basis. An answer built on three "not found" steps deserves a harder look than one built on files it read successfully.

Web sources

When the model searched the web, its sources are listed separately, marked with a globe. Treat those as third-party material: they are not your documentation and not reviewed by anyone in your organisation.

Answers can contain clickable links to a project, workflow, node or file. Clicking one navigates the workspace behind the panel, so the conversation stays open and you keep your place in it.

Long conversations

  • A long transcript loads the most recent turns first and fetches older ones as you scroll back.
  • When a conversation grows long, earlier turns are condensed into a summary and the chat tells you once that it happened. Detail from those early turns may be lost. If you want the assistant working from a clean slate, start a new chat rather than pushing the old one further.
