I believe it would be very helpful if ChatGPT could access all chats within a single project in the “Projects” section. This feature would provide a comprehensive overview and allow for a more coherent context across all discussions tied to the same project. It would improve organization, efficiency, and ensure seamless integration of ideas.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!
Welcome to the forum 
I moved your topic to ChatGPT API is a separate service . I wish you luck.
Thank you so much … 
Beat me to it! I completely agree. Chats can be quite numerous within project folders and important context can be buried / overlooked when continuing to develop consensus, etc… I came here to see if this was under development / review. Considering the advancements in custom GPT’s, I can’t imagine this update would be too difficult to implement. Thanks for considering!
I completely agree with this request! The ability for ChatGPT to reference previous chats within the same project is absolutely necessary. Right now, every time I start a new chat, even if it’s part of a specific project with multiple chats, like chapters in a book, I have to manually explain what was already talked about. This makes it harder to manage long-term projects and breaks continuity.
This is actually part of a necessary first step before another key feature request I’ve made—the ability to Cut, Move, and Archive chats. In order for that to work properly, ChatGPT needs to see and understand what’s in other chats. If I want to move part of a conversation to a different chat because it’s off-topic, I need to know where it should go. Right now, that’s impossible because there’s no way to see what’s in the other chats.
If ChatGPT could first access project-specific chat history, then we’d be one step closer to better manual chat management. It will smooth the way to full automation, allowing ChatGPT to recognize when a topic shifts and ask, ‘Would you like to continue here or move this to a separate chat?’ That kind of feature would be a game-changer, but it all starts with chat visibility across all chats.
I’ve already made one post and a few comments about improving usability, including Feature Request: Cut, Move, and Manage Chat Messages
And I’m not stopping here—I plan to keep making feature requests because I actively use ChatGPT and want to see it improve for everyone. I’ve also stated that when OpenAI rolls out automation features, I’ll be going all-in because I believe in this technology. The smoother and more intuitive these tools become, the more useful they’ll be for long-term and professional use.
I hope @OpenAI considers this as a foundational improvement that paves the way for better management, efficiency, and automation in the future!

I made an account here today to post exactly this. So often I encounter a situation where I get a response that ends with ChatGPT suggesting 3-5 proposed prompts as next steps. Naturally these are all incredible ideas that I want to pursue, but i need to keep this conversation focused for now. I’ve tried making a thread in my project dedicated to purely the highest level of strategizing - and it’s like good luck with that. Every response will have it diving into specifics (I guess you could avoid this in the project instructions, but that would ruin the other chats). These suggested inroads need to be clickable ideas that spawn new threads (or subthreads). Projects are a game changer already, but it can still get easy to get disorganized managing different chats if you aren’t extremely diligent about keeping each thread on topic, labelling it, and ensuring that you start a whole new chat for other ideas no matter how connected they are.
By the way I’m not trying to derail this thread - projects absolutely need to be able to read all chats within the project - that’s why I clicked on this thread. As is, if I have a thread that I think is necessary for the whole project to read, I tell ChatGPT to give me a summary, which I then copy into a document and upload into the project files, which is silly. I think the summarizing step is good for minimizing clutter of a full conversation that might weigh heavily on the context window eventually. I imagine having some sort of “Summarize chat as project context” button that does those steps for me would be pretty incredible.
