Methods for How to Save ChatGPT Conversations

If you seek to save ChatGPT conversations for future reference, you can easily do so using the methods below. Let us check out both methods one by one.

Directly Save ChatGPT Conversations on the Cloud

While using ChatGPT, your chats reflect toward the left sidebar. If you have yet to notice, you can do it now. Yes, whatever you ask with the chatbot, it gets saved on the cloud. ChatGPT clearly shows well-organized chats in the sidebar.

For instance, you have started a chat with ChatGPT, asking, “What is Digital Marketing?.” Once ChatGPT answers your prompt, the left sidebar will reflect your chat with a random name according to the asked question. Refer to the image below to resolve your confusion.

You can see I have highlighted the chat in the sidebar with a red square. For better convenience, you can rename your chat according to what you had asked in that conversation. You can also delete ChatGPT conversations if you are not keeping them for future reference. 

To rename your chat click on the “Pencil Icon” beside the title and rename your chat. You can save a ChatGPT conversation according to your preference for the topic.

Once you rename your chat, click the “Tick Mark” shown in the image below. The conversation will be saved on the cloud, and you can share it using the copy-and-paste option.

Now let us move forward to the second method of how to save ChatGPT conversations.

Although it is the easiest way to rename your conversation and get it saved on the cloud, there may be more convenient solutions for some. Think about when you want to share a long chat with many questions. Then it won't be easy to copy and paste the content into someone's message box.

In that case, you might want to download your chat and save it on your local drive. You will get stuck as ChatGPT doesn't provide any in-built functionality to download your chats.

No worries! Then you have another option. There are many Chrome extensions available to download your chats from ChatGPT.
