# Managing Chat Sessions

You can run multiple AI chat sessions in parallel — each with its own conversation history — so different lines of thought don't get tangled up.

## Creating a New Session

Click the **+** button at the top of the chat panel to start a new conversation. The new session opens with a blank slate and the usual welcome suggestions.

Alternatively, type the slash command `/new` in any active chat to open a new session.

## Switching Between Sessions

Your sessions appear as tabs at the top of the AI Chat panel. Click any tab to switch to that session and pick up where you left off.

## Renaming a Session

Double-click a session tab to rename it. Sessions are automatically named based on your first message, but a clear custom name makes a bigger difference when you have several.

## Deleting a Session

Hover over a session tab and click the **X** that appears. The session and its full history are removed — this can't be undone.

## Editing a Previous Message

Hover over one of your own messages in the conversation and click the **edit icon**. When you save the edit:

* The conversation rolls back to that point.
* Later messages are removed from the active conversation.
* The AI answers again with the new version of your message.

This is useful when you realize you asked for the wrong thing — rephrase the original message rather than piling on corrections.

## Clearing a Session

Type `/clear` in the chat to wipe the current session's history while keeping the tab open.

## Session Scope

* Sessions are tied to **the board you're editing** — switching to a different board gives you a separate set of sessions.
* Sessions persist across reloads so you can return later and continue.
* Your sessions are private to you unless your admin's setup says otherwise.
