# Organize chats and campaigns

> Keep threads findable with favorites, campaigns, and archiving.

Chats accumulate fast. A few habits keep the useful ones reachable.

## Where chats live

The sidebar shows **Recent chats** — what you've worked on most recently. The control
beside that heading, **Filter chats**, switches what the list shows:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="All chats" icon="list">
    Everything. The default.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Favorites" icon="star">
    Threads you've starred — the handful worth returning to.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Archived" icon="archive">
    Out of the way, but not deleted.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Above the list sits **Campaigns**, and above that the main navigation.

## Search across everything

**Search** in the sidebar, or **⌘K** anywhere, opens one box that looks in three places at
once: your **chats**, your **posts**, and your **campaigns**.

<Frame>
  <img src="https://statics.depost.ai/docs/chat/global-search.png?v=2" alt="The search box open with a term typed, showing matching chats and posts grouped under separate headings" />
</Frame>

Results come back grouped by type, each with a line of context underneath so you can tell
two similar threads apart without opening either.

Open it with nothing typed and you get your **recent** chats, posts and campaigns instead,
plus a shortcut to start a new chat. That makes it a faster way back to this morning's work
than scrolling the sidebar.

<Tip>
  This is the fastest fix for a sidebar full of similar names. You don't have to remember
  whether something was a chat or a post — search finds both, so ⌘K and a couple of words
  beats hunting for it.
</Tip>

## Rename a thread

Chats get an automatic title. Open the chat's actions menu and rename it. Worth doing for
anything you'll come back to — automatic titles are fine for finding a thread this week
and useless for finding it next month.

## Campaigns

A campaign is a folder for related chats. Use one when a piece of work spans several
conversations: a product launch, a recurring content theme, or a specific client.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the campaign">
    Use **New campaign** — the **+** beside the **Campaigns** heading in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Move chats into it">
    Open a chat's actions menu and choose **Move to campaign**. A chat belongs to one
    campaign at a time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Work inside it">
    Opening a campaign shows only its chats, so a launch stays separate from everything else.
  </Step>
</Steps>

To take a chat back out, use **Remove from campaign**. Deleting a campaign asks whether to
delete the chats inside it too — you can keep them and just remove the grouping.

<Warning>
  Deleting a campaign with its chats removes those conversations. If you only wanted to
  clear the grouping, delete the campaign without its chats, or archive them instead.
</Warning>

## Archiving

Archive a chat when it's finished but you don't want it gone. Archived chats stay
searchable and can be brought back with **Restore**. An archived chat is read-only until
you restore it — you'll see **Chat is archived** in place of the message box.

Archiving is the right default for finished work. Deleting is for things you're certain
you'll never want.

## Keeping it manageable

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="star" title="Favorite the threads with reusable thinking">
    Not the ones with good posts — those are in Posts already. Favorite the threads where
    you worked out positioning, an angle that keeps paying off, or a prompt that works.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="search" title="Search before starting fresh">
    Continuing an existing thread keeps its context. Starting a new one throws it away and
    you re-explain everything.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="folder" title="Make a campaign when you hit the third related chat">
    Not before. Campaigns created in advance stay empty; campaigns created when the work
    already exists get used.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
