Every conversation is saved. Recent ones are in the sidebar; all of them are on the **Chats**
page.

## Find a chat

* **Sidebar**: the **Chats** section shows your ten most recent chats, and ten more each time you
  scroll to the end. It includes chats shared with you once you've replied in them, and leaves
  out scheduled task runs (those are under **Scheduled → Activity**).
* **Chats page**: select the **Chats** label in the sidebar. It lists your chats and ones shared
  with you, grouped into **Today**, **Yesterday**, **This week** and **Earlier**, and loads more
  as you scroll.
  * The search box searches all chats, not just what's on screen.
  * **"Add filter"** filters by **"Created by"**, **"Access"** (**"Private"** or **"Shared"**)
    and **"Project"**.
  * Each row shows the title, age, message count, access, and the owner's avatar if it isn't
    yours.

The command palette doesn't search chats. Use the search on the **Chats** page.

### What "Shared" means here

The **"Shared"** filter lists every chat you can open that someone besides its owner can also
open, including chats **you** shared. To see only your own, filter **"Created by"** to yourself.

## Share a chat

A chat is private until its owner shares it. Open **Share** from the chat header or its **⋯**
menu:

* **"General access"**: **"Private"** (*"Only you"*) or **"Workspace"**, where everyone in the
  workspace gets **Can view** or **Can write**.
* Add people one by one with either role. A person's own role overrides the workspace's, even
  when it's lower.

A chat filed in a project is readable by everyone who can open the project, instead of its own
workspace setting. People added directly keep their access. Only the chat's creator can move it
into a project. See [assets and visibility](/docs/concepts/assets-and-visibility) and
[shared chats](/docs/chat/multiplayer).

## Rename or delete

Open **"More options"** (**⋯**) on a row, in the sidebar, or in the chat header.

* **"Rename"**: available on your own chats and on chats where you have **Can write**, if your
  workspace role lets you create content.
* **"Delete"**: owner only. It deletes the chat for everyone it was shared with. Deleted chats
  don't go to the trash and can't be restored.

On a chat shared with you, **Can view** lets you read it; **Can write** also lets you send
messages and rename it. **Share** shows who has access, and you can **"Leave"** from your own
row. You can't leave when leaving would give you more access, for example when you hold
**Can view** and the workspace has **Can write**.

## Empty list

* **"No chats yet"**: you haven't started a conversation.
* **"No matching chats"**: remove a filter.
