Feature Request: Add “Move to Project and Remove from Recents” Option

Currently, when a conversation is moved into a Project, it can continue to appear in the main Recents list based on recent activity.

For users who rely on Projects to organize a large number of conversations, this can quickly clutter the Recents list and make active conversations harder to find.

Rather than requiring the same behavior for every conversation, I would like to suggest two options when moving a conversation:

1. Move to Project
Move the conversation to the selected Project while allowing it to remain visible in Recents.

2. Move to Project + Remove from Recents
Move the conversation to the selected Project and remove it from the main Recents list. The conversation would remain fully accessible inside the Project.

This would be especially useful for workflows involving research, client work, project management, testing, or any other work that generates a large number of individual conversations. Once those conversations have been organized into their appropriate Projects, having all of them continue to appear in Recents can make it harder to locate other active conversations.

Previously, moving conversations into Projects kept them from appearing in the main Recents list. The newer activity-based Recents behavior may work well for some users, so I am not suggesting that the previous behavior simply replace the current one.

Giving users both options would preserve the current behavior while restoring the ability to use Projects to declutter Recents.

This would provide conversation-level control, since a user may want some Project conversations to remain in Recents while removing others.

Hello @Nicole_Harris welcome to the forums! :tada:

You can already do that by clicking on the three dos on every chat. Within the Desktop App ( Windows and macOS) you can also order by section. This is handy for project-less chats but sections do not replicate on the web.

Both will remove the chats from recents into the respective grouping method.

Thanks for the response. The behavior I’m referring to is different from what you described.

When I select Move to Project on a conversation, the conversation is moved into the selected Project. However, it also moves to the top of my Recents list as the most recent conversation.

So the conversation now appears in both places:

  • Inside the Project
  • In the main Recents list

My feature request is specifically about having control over that.

I’m requesting two options:

Move to Project
Move the conversation to the selected Project and allow it to remain in Recents.

Move to Project and Remove from Recents
Move the conversation to the selected Project and remove it from the main Recents list while keeping it fully accessible inside the Project.

I’m not looking for another grouping method or Sections. I’m specifically requesting the ability to move a conversation into a Project without having that conversation continue to occupy space in Recents.

even with sections done? that’s interesting
