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

Quick summary

ChatGPT lets you archive chats to keep your sidebar tidy, and you can view or restore archived conversations anytime through the Data controls section in Settings. This step-by-step guide shows exactly where to find your archived chats and how to unarchive them in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Click your profile icon in the bottom left corner to access your account settings.
  2. Select Settings from the menu to open your account preferences and configurations.
  3. Navigate to Data controls — the hub for managing archived conversations and data preferences.
  4. Scroll down to Archived chats and click the Manage button to view all your archived chats.
  5. Click the three dots next to any chat and select unarchive to restore it to your sidebar.

📌 Why this matters

ChatGPT's archive feature helps users declutter their sidebar without permanently deleting valuable conversations. Knowing how to access and manage archived chats ensures you never lose important AI-generated content or past research threads. The Data controls section gives users full visibility and control over their conversation history, making it easy to retrieve archived chats at any time. This workflow is essential for power users who regularly manage large volumes of ChatGPT conversations.
