# Chats, folders and search

> Start new wishes, organise chats into folders and subfolders, rename and delete them, and search every conversation you have had.

Every wish is a **chat** you can come back to. Chats live in the **library** on the left (`Ctrl+B` shows or hides it; on a phone, open it from the menu button).

## Start a new chat

Click **New Wish** at the top of the library, or press `Ctrl+Shift+O`. A new chat starts with empty [chat memory](https://rogenie.ai/docs/chat-memory) but still follows your [standing instructions and notes](https://rogenie.ai/docs/memory).

Each chat remembers its own model, so switching chats also switches the model picker to that chat's model.

## What the library shows

- Your chats, newest first, with each chat's title, its place and whether a run is active.
- A **Draft** marker on chats with an unsent message. Drafts are saved per chat in your browser.
- At the bottom, your plan and the quota you have left for the last 5 hours and the month, with when each frees up. See [How usage is counted](https://rogenie.ai/docs/usage-and-quota).

## Chat actions

Open a chat's **⋯** menu, in the library or in the chat's header:

| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Rename** | Give the chat a title (up to 120 characters). |
| **Move to folder** | File it in a folder, or back at the top level. |
| **Summarize to free memory** | Same as [/summarize](https://rogenie.ai/docs/slash-commands#summarize). |
| **Delete chat** | Removes the chat and its history for good. This does not undo anything in Studio. |

## Folders

- **Create** a folder with the **New folder** button (names up to 60 characters). Folders can hold **subfolders**.
- **Move chats** by dragging them onto a folder, or with **Move to folder**. Drop a chat on *Drop here to move to the top level* to take it out of every folder.
- **Rename**, **move** or **delete** a folder from its menu. A folder cannot be moved into itself. Deleting a folder does not delete its chats: they become unorganized.

## Search every chat

Press `Ctrl+K` (or `Ctrl+Shift+F`), or click the search box in the library, and type at least 2 characters. Search looks through:

- chat titles and place names,
- the full text of every message,
- older messages that were summarized out of a chat's memory.

Results show each chat's folder and when it was last updated. Click a result to open the chat.

> **Tip**
> RoGenie can search your other chats too. Mention earlier work ("like the shop we built last week") and it can look it up with the **Search My Other Chats** tool, which you can turn off in [Tool access](https://rogenie.ai/docs/tool-access).

## Message drafts

Whatever you type but do not send is kept as a draft for that chat, even if you switch chats or close the tab. Drafts are stored in your browser for up to 14 days.
