How to save a ChatGPT conversation to revisit later

As soon as you start your conversation, a new tab will pop up on ChatGPT’s left-hand bar. That new tab contains the automatically saved conversation you just initiated with the chatbot. ChatGPT labels the new tab based on the subject of of your first prompt. 

Much like when you initiate a new text with someone and you can later find the entirety of the conversation under the person’s contact without taking steps to individually save it, ChatGPT doesn’t require you to hit a save button.

In the left-hand bar, you can also find every session you have ever had with the chatbot, unless you previously deleted it. It is important to note that these conversations aren’t backed up elsewhere. 

Therefore, if you for some reason lose access to account or delete a conversation by accident, you won’t have access to the conversation again. If the conversation is really important to you, you may want to copy and paste it elsewhere for safe keeping or take screenshots of the interaction.
