Keep the sidebar tidy as your work piles up. You can pin important chats, give them clear names, sort them into groups, and archive the ones you’re done with. Every chat has a menu with these actions. Hover over a chat in the sidebar and click ⋯, or right-click the chat.

​
Pin a chat

Pinned chats appear in the Pinned section at the top of the sidebar, across all your workspaces.
  1. Open the chat’s menu.
  2. Click Pin session.
To remove it from the top, click Unpin session. You can also use the pin icon that appears when you hover over a chat. Drag pinned chats to change their order.

​
Rename a chat

  1. Open the chat’s menu.
  2. Click Rename session.
  3. Type a new name and click Save.

​
Sort chats into groups

Groups work like folders. Use them for stages such as “In progress” and “Done”, or for topics such as “Research”. Groups belong to a workspace. Each workspace has its own groups.

​
Create a group

  1. Hover over the workspace name in the sidebar and click ⋯.
  2. Click New group….
  3. Type a name and click Save.
You can also create a group while moving a chat, from Move to group › New group….

​
Move a chat into a group

  1. Open the chat’s menu.
  2. Point to Move to group.
  3. Choose a group. To take the chat out of its group, choose No group.
Chats that aren’t in a group appear under Ungrouped.

​
Rename or delete a group

Hover over the group name, then point to ⋯. Three icons appear:
  • + (New session in group) starts a new chat inside that group.
  • The pencil (Rename Group) changes its name.
  • The trash can (Delete Group) removes the group. Choose where its chats go under Move sessions to. Deleting a group doesn’t delete its chats.
Drag groups to change their order.

​
Archive a chat

Archive chats you’ve finished with. Archived chats aren’t deleted, and you can bring them back at any time.
  1. Open the chat’s menu.
  2. Click Archive session.
You can also use the archive icon that appears when you hover over a chat. If the chat is still working, OpenWork asks whether to Stop and archive or Keep session open. Archived chats move to the Archived section at the bottom of the sidebar. The number next to it shows how many you have. Click Archived to expand it. The most recently archived chats appear first. An archived chat is read-only. To keep working in it, open it and click Restore, or choose Unarchive session from its menu.

​
Delete a chat

  1. Open the chat’s menu.
  2. Click Delete session.
  3. Click Delete to confirm.
Deleting permanently removes the chat and its messages. If you might need it later, archive it instead.

​
Ask OpenWork to organize for you

You can also ask in chat. For example:
  • “Rename this chat to Q3 budget review and pin it.”
  • “Move this chat to the Done group.”
  • “Create a group called Needs review and move my last three chats into it.”
  • “Archive the chats I finished today.”
OpenWork won’t archive a chat that’s still working.
