Manage chats

Chats live in the left sidebar, grouped under each project. Home chats sit under Home. Click a row to open it. Right-click a sidebar row to rename, fork, pin or unpin, or delete. Right-click the open thread for Copy ID, Export Transcript, rename, and pin or unpin. Fork and delete are sidebar-only.

Sidebar status icons (running, needs approval, and the rest) are on Chat statuses.

Rename a chat

New chats start titled New Agent. If Auto-title is on (the default), a title job can replace that after the first message. Rename overwrites whatever is there.

  1. Right-click the chat in the sidebar or on the thread.
  2. Choose Rename.
  3. Type the new title and save.

Pin a chat

Pin a chat you want to find quickly. Pinned chats also appear under Pinned in the sidebar header.

  1. Right-click the chat in the sidebar or on the thread.
  2. Choose Pin. Choose Unpin from the same menu when you no longer want it pinned.

Fork a chat

Fork when you want a copy of the thread (messages and file checkpoints) so you can try a different direction without losing the original. The new chat is titled <title> (fork), starts idle, and is not auto-titled. Vixl opens the fork.

  1. Right-click the chat in the sidebar.
  2. Choose Fork.

Delete a chat

Warning

Delete is permanent. There is no archive. See Privacy for what delete removes on the client, and what it does not cover at a cloud provider.

  1. Right-click the chat in the sidebar.
  2. Choose Delete and confirm.

If that chat was open, Vixl goes Home. The open run, plan session, and agent shells for that chat are stopped first.

The project Chats table can rename and delete the same way. It does not fork or pin.

Next, queue and stop messages, or export a transcript from the thread menu.
