When a user selects “Delete all chats”, the system should offer the option to retain specific chats, including:

:white_check_mark: 1. Protected Chats

  • Allow users to mark a conversation as “Protected” via a :star: icon or toggle.
  • On deletion, prompt the user:
    “You have protected chats. Do you want to keep them?”

:white_check_mark: 2. Project Chats (Canvas/Code/Document projects)

  • Automatically detect active projects or canvases.
  • On deletion, prompt:
    “You have active project chats. Do you want to retain them?”
  • Deep Research might fall here

:brain: Optional Enhancement:

Let users create custom folders or labels for chats (e.g., “Work”, “Personal”), and provide selective deletion by category. ( this can be done with Projects)

Benefits:

  • Prevents accidental loss of critical project work or reference chats.
  • Aligns with the way users naturally organize their work (especially power users).
  • Adds minimal UI complexity for strong user value.
