Adding an Existing Chat to a Project

If you've already been working in a chat and realize it belongs with a project, you can attach it. This brings the chat into the project so it appears in the Timeline and shares the project's context.

Before you start

Attaching a chat is a one-time action, so it's worth understanding how it behaves:

  • You can attach a chat that has never been in a project.
  • Once a chat is in a project, it can't be moved to another project or removed from the one it's in.
  • To “move” work into a different project, start a new chat in that project instead.

A chat only ever belongs to one project — this keeps each project's context clean and predictable.

Attach a chat from the chat itself

  1. 1Open the chat you want to attach.
  2. 2Open the chat's three-dot menu and choose Move to Project.
  3. 3Search for and select the project you want to add it to.

The Move to Project option only appears on chats and workflows that aren't already in a project. Once attached, a project chip appears in the chat header, linking back to the project.

Attach a chat from the project

You can also pull a chat in from the project side:

  1. 1Open the project.
  2. 2Select Add Existing Chat in the project header, next to New Workflow and + New Chat. You can do this from any tab.
  3. 3In the Add an existing chat window, search your chats that aren't yet in a project, then select Add next to the one you want to attach.

The window reminds you that adding a chat to a project is permanent — it can't be moved to another project or detached later. This option is available while the project is active.
