3.9 Chat History Management
Pop’s chat history system allows you to efficiently manage all AI sessions, including searching past chats, locating important conversations, viewing multi‑window records, archiving unused sessions, and more.
This chapter will help you fully understand how Pop organizes and manages chat history.
📁 What Is “Chat History”?
Chat history is the long‑term record of all interactions between you and the AI.
In Pop, each chat is stored as a Session, and each session:
- Has its own independent context
- Can contain 1 to 4 independent chat windows
- Can be searched, renamed, pinned, or archived
- Allows chat messages to grow indefinitely
Chat history helps you:
- Retrieve previously discussed content
- Organize sessions by topic
- Quickly resume previous tasks
- Preserve important AI discussion records
🧭 Chat History Interface Structure
On the left panel of the Pop AI Assistant, you’ll find the session list:
- Recent Sessions
- Pinned Sessions
- Archived Sessions
- Role‑based Sessions
All sessions can be quickly located via search.
🔍 Searching Chat History
Enter any keyword into the search bar and Pop will search across all sessions:
- Session titles
- Session messages
- AI responses
- Uploaded file names
Useful for:
- Finding previously discussed code
- Locating a specific version of text
- Searching past debugging sessions
- Reviewing previous study topics
Search results appear instantly, without affecting your current session.
📝 Renaming Sessions
A session’s default title is based on:
- A summary of the first message (auto‑generated), or
- Your own manual name (recommended)
Examples:
- “Documentation Structure Design — Pt. 1”
- “Bug Fix: API Timeout Issue”
- “Paper Summary: Transformer Architecture”
Good naming helps long‑term organization.
⭐ Pinning Important Sessions
You can mark a session as Pinned, which keeps it at the top of your list.
Recommended for:
- Long‑term projects
- Study plans
- Utility script generation
- Writing or planning
- Important brainstorming sessions
📦 Archiving Old Sessions
If you don’t need a session frequently but don’t want to delete it, archive it.
Archived sessions:
- Are hidden from the main list
- Are never deleted
- Can be restored at any time
Perfect for keeping the interface clean.
🗑 Deleting Sessions
Deleting a session permanently removes:
- All messages across all windows
- Temporary file references
- Model configuration state
Pop will always ask for confirmation before deleting.
🪟 Multi‑Window Chat History
Each chat window has an independent context, and history stores these separately:
- Window A (Main model)
- Window B (Helper model)
- Window C (Role chat)
- Window D (Debugging window)
Pop consolidates all windows under one session so you can fully review the reasoning process.
🧠 Context Management
Pop allows fine‑grained control over conversation context.
● Clear Context
Wipes all prior messages, starting fresh with a clean slate.
● Keep Selected Messages
You may delete older or irrelevant portions while preserving key messages—useful for long sessions.
● Context Folding
Long conversations can collapse automatically to keep the view clean.
🔄 Session Resume
Even if you close Pop entirely, all session content remains saved. Next time you open Pop:
- All sessions remain intact
- All window layouts are preserved
- Draft text in the input box is restored
This is essential to Pop’s long‑term workflow experience.
🔐 Data Privacy & Security
Pop stores all chat history locally, ensuring:
- No cloud upload
- Offline browsing
- Manual deletion anytime
- Enterprise editions support encrypted storage
Your privacy is fully protected; chat data is never used for AI model training.
📌 Summary
Pop’s chat history system provides:
- Search
- Rename
- Pin
- Archive
- Multi‑window session tracking
- Context control
These tools help you manage long‑term knowledge efficiently and make Pop a truly persistent AI assistant.
