How do I organize, access, and share past chats?

Overview  

You can use the functions present in Dartmouth Chat to organize your past conversations, and even set up rules for similar, future conversations.

Accessing, Sharing, and Archiving Past Chats  

Your past chats are stored by the system, and can be accessed, organized, shared, and/or downloaded as needed. To access this history, click on the icon in the upper left-hand corner to view the left-hand menu. Chats are listed chronologically starting with the most recent.

By clicking on the chat label, you can access the historical chat itself and continue where you left off. By clicking the three dots (…) to the right of each result, you can access a menu of options, including “Rename”, “Share”, “Clone”, “Download”, “Archive”, and “Delete”.

Using Folders to Organize your Chats  

You can also create folders to organize your past chats and prepare for future chats .

To create a folder, mouse-over the “Folders” link in the left sidebar and click on the “+” sign. Rename and save the folder. You can then drag and drop your past chats into the folders to organize them. This will allow you to group together conversations dealing with similar topics.
