Chat Folders


Chat Folders organize your ChatGPT sidebar by letting you group conversations into named, color-coded folders, similar to folders in a file manager.

Use Chat Folders when you maintain separate projects, clients, or topics and want to find related conversations without scrolling through a long history.

Step 1: Open Settings

Click the NAToolkits extension icon at the top of your browser, or click the Settings gear icon injected in the ChatGPT sidebar.
