Use this interactive demo to learn how to find and restore archived chats in ChatGPT.

Quick summary

ChatGPT's archive feature lets you hide conversations from your main list without deleting them. You can access archived chats anytime through Settings > Data controls and restore them in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Click your profile icon in the bottom left corner to open the account menu.
  2. Select Settings from the menu to access your account preferences and controls.
  3. Navigate to Data controls — this is where your archive management options are located.
  4. Scroll down to find Archived chats, then click Manage to view all your archived conversations.
  5. Click the three dots next to any archived chat and choose restore to move it back to your main conversation list.

📌 Why this matters

ChatGPT's archived conversations feature gives users a clean, clutter-free sidebar without permanently losing past chats. Being able to access and restore archived chats is essential for users who reference historical AI conversations for research, work, or creative projects. The Settings > Data controls pathway centralizes conversation management, making it easy to retrieve any chat at any time. Understanding this workflow helps ChatGPT users stay organized and get more long-term value from their AI interactions.
