Use this interactive demo to learn how to move a ChatGPT conversation into your archive.

Quick summary

Archiving a chat in ChatGPT lets you hide conversations from your sidebar without deleting them permanently. Use the three-dot menu next to any chat to archive it in just two clicks.


Steps

  1. Select the chat you want to archive from your Recents list in the sidebar.
  2. Click the three-dot menu icon next to the chat name to open your chat management options.
  3. Choose "Archive" from the dropdown menu — your chat will be tucked away but not deleted.

📌 Why this matters

Archiving chats in ChatGPT helps users keep their sidebar organized without permanently losing valuable conversations. This feature is essential for power users who manage multiple ongoing projects or topics and need a clutter-free workspace. Archived chats remain fully accessible, making it easy to retrieve past conversations whenever needed. Understanding how to archive a chat improves overall ChatGPT workflow efficiency and conversation management.
