OpenAI has introduced a new feature in ChatGPT that allows users to archive their chats. This feature aims to enhance the user experience by removing chats from the sidebar without deleting them.
What is the Archive Chats Feature?
The Archive Chats feature in ChatGPT allows users to remove chats from the sidebar while keeping them for future reference. It offers a convenient way to store conversations that are no longer active. Users can easily access their archived chats in the Settings section of the platform, ensuring that important discussions are not lost or forgotten.
How to Archive Chats
Archiving chats in ChatGPT is a simple and straightforward process. To archive a chat, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the sidebar where your chats are listed.
- Locate the desired chat and click on the three-dot menu beside it.
- From the menu, select the ‘Archive’ option.
Once a chat is archived, it will be removed from the sidebar, but you can still access it later when needed.
Managing Archived Chats
To review or unarchive conversations, follow these steps:
- Go to ‘Settings’ in the ChatGPT platform.
- Look for the new ‘Archive Chats’ section.
- In this section, you can find a list of your archived chats and choose to unarchive them if necessary.
Platform Compatibility
The Archive Chats feature is currently available on the Web and iOS platforms. OpenAI is actively working to bring this feature to Android users, and support for Android is expected to be released in the near future.
User Feedback
While the Archive Chats feature is a step towards a more organized interface, some users have expressed additional feature requests. These include a search function to filter chats, the ability to group chats by topic or importance, and the option to batch select chats for deletion or archiving.
