Managing your conversations

Your Conversation History

Every conversation you have in LibreChat is saved automatically and listed in the left sidebar in chronological order, with the most recent at the top. You can return to any past conversation at any time simply by clicking on it.

Over time your sidebar will fill up with conversations across different topics and tasks. LibreChat provides several tools to help you stay organised and find what you need quickly.

Searching Your Conversations

If you are looking for a specific past conversation, use the search function at the top of the sidebar. Type a keyword or phrase related to the topic you discussed and LibreChat will filter your conversation list to show matching results.

This is the fastest way to locate a specific discussion without scrolling through your full history.

Renaming Conversations

By default, LibreChat gives each conversation an automatically generated title based on your first message. If the title is not descriptive enough, you can rename it to something more meaningful.

To rename a conversation, hover over it in the sidebar, click the options menu that appears, and select rename. Type your preferred title and confirm. Clear, descriptive names make it much easier to find specific conversations later.

Bookmarking Conversations

For conversations you want to return to regularly, LibreChat offers a bookmark feature. Bookmarked conversations are easy to locate and can serve as a reference library for ongoing projects or frequently used workflows.

To bookmark a conversation, open the options menu for that conversation in the sidebar and select the bookmark option. You can view all your bookmarked conversations from the sidebar navigation.

Deleting Conversations

If you no longer need a conversation, you can delete it to keep your sidebar tidy. Open the options menu for the conversation in the sidebar and select delete. Please note that deleted conversations cannot be recovered, so only delete what you are certain you no longer need.

Temporary Chat Mode

If you want to have a conversation that is not saved to your history at all, LibreChat offers a temporary chat mode. This is useful for quick one-off questions, sensitive topics you do not want stored, or simply keeping your sidebar uncluttered.

To start a temporary chat, look for the temporary chat option in the top menu of the chat window. The conversation will not appear in your sidebar after the session ends.

Forking a Conversation

If you are mid-conversation and want to explore a different direction without losing your current thread, you can fork the conversation. Forking creates a copy of the conversation from a chosen point, allowing you to take it in a new direction while keeping the original intact.

This is particularly useful when you want to test different approaches to the same problem or compare how a conversation develops with different follow-up questions.

Importing Conversations

LibreChat also supports importing conversations from other sources. If you have conversation exports from another AI platform, you may be able to import them into LibreChat to continue working with that content. Look for the import option in the sidebar menu for details on supported formats.

Keeping Your Workspace Tidy

A few simple habits will help you keep your conversation history manageable:

• Rename conversations immediately after starting them if the topic is important

• Bookmark conversations linked to ongoing projects

• Delete one-off or test conversations you no longer need

• Use temporary chat for quick questions that do not need to be saved
