Chat History

Every question you have asked Orbit is kept here, whichever page you asked it on — a chat, a document search, a conversation about one PDF. The list is the way back into any of them: clicking a title reopens the original conversation on the page it belongs to.

Opening the page

  1. Click New Chat in the left rail.
  2. Click View All at the right of the Recent heading, at the top of the left-hand column.

There is no entry for this page in the left rail — View All is the way in. The column on New Chat only holds your 50 most recent conversations, so anything older can only be reached from here.

The New Chat page with the Search Chat box and the Recent list on the left; View All with a right arrow sits at the right of the Recent heading.
View All is easy to miss: it is plain text on the same line as Recent, not a button.

Company pages have their own Chat History panel with the same View All button. Coming in that way opens this page with Entity already set to that company, so you see only the conversations about it.

The Chat History page: three counter cards across the top, a Search Title box and Filter button below them, and a table with Title, Type, Date, Company and Action columns.
The table scrolls inside its own frame — the counters, the search row and the pager stay put while you move through the records.

The three counters

The cards across the top count records, not credits. They are not affected by the search box or the filters underneath them: narrow the list down to a handful of rows and the three numbers stay exactly the same.

CounterWhat it counts
Total HistoryEvery record you have, all the way back.
Current Month Total HistoryRecords created since the start of this calendar month.
Current Week Total HistoryRecords created since the start of this week.

Finding a record

Type into Search Title at the left of the row under the counters and press Enter, or click the magnifier, to match on the title. Clearing the box brings the full list back. Searching always returns you to the first page of results.

Filter beside it narrows the list three more ways. Click it, then click a row in the panel to open that filter.

The Filter panel open on the Chat History page, showing a Search filters box above Entity, Type and Date rows, with Reset at the bottom right.
Search filters at the top searches the filter names and their values, not your records. Reset clears all three filters at once.
FilterNotes
Entity The company a conversation is about. Tick boxes, applied as soon as you tick one. The list starts with the companies you have used; Search here looks up any other.
Type What kind of conversation it was. Radio buttons, so one type at a time — see Opening a record below for what each one means.
Date When the conversation was started. Two dates, or one of the shortcuts from Last 1 Week to Last 1 Year. This one needs Apply.
The Entity filter open, with a Search here box above a tick-box list of companies including NVIDIA CORPORATION, APPLE INC. and ALPHABET INC., and 0 selected with a Clear link at the bottom.
The count at the bottom left tracks what you have ticked; Clear beside it drops the lot. The arrow next to Entity at the top goes back to the three filters.
The Type filter open, listing Chat, Search, Deep Search, PDF Chat, News Chat and Agentic as radio buttons, each with its own icon.
Six types, each with the icon you see in the Type column of the table.
The Date filter open, with two Select Date boxes above a list of shortcuts from Last 1 Week to Last 1 Year, two month calendars, and Clear and Apply buttons.
Nothing happens until you click Apply — the other two filters take effect as soon as you pick a value, this one does not.

Whatever you have set shows as a chip to the left of Filter, with the number of values it holds, and the ✕ on the chip removes it.

The Chat History list filtered to PDF Chat: a Type 1 chip sits beside the Filter button, every row reads PDF Chat, and the pager at the bottom reads Total 127.
The count at the bottom left follows the filters — here 127 of 1192 records. The three counters at the top do not.
Entity filters on one company

Entity lets you tick more than one company, but the list is narrowed by the first one you ticked. To look at a second company, clear the first.

Your place in the list is remembered

The filters you set and the page you are on are kept in the address bar. Refreshing, or coming back with the browser's Back button after opening a conversation, returns you to the same list rather than to the top of it.

Choosing the columns

The icon at the far right of the search row opens Column Modification. Untick a column to hide it, drag the handle at the right of a row to change the order, then click Apply. Title is fixed — its tick box is greyed out and it has no drag handle — and Action is not listed at all, so those two are always there.

The Column Modification popover with an Apply button in its header and four rows: Title greyed out and ticked, then Type, Date and Company each ticked with a drag handle.
Nothing changes until Apply — closing the popover any other way leaves the table as it was.
Column changes last until you leave

The layout is not saved to your account. Opening the page again brings back all four columns in their original order.

What each column shows

ColumnNotes
Title The name of the conversation — written by Orbit from what you asked, unless you have renamed it. Click it to reopen the conversation; see Opening a record below.
Type Which part of Orbit the conversation happened in, with a matching icon. This is also what decides where the title takes you.
Date The day the conversation was started, as YYYY-MM-DD.
Company The companies the conversation was about, as grey tags. Only the first is shown; a +N after it means there are more. Conversations that are not tied to a company leave this cell empty.
Action Three icons: Edit, Share and Delete, each covered below. They are faint until you point at them.
A Company cell reading ADVANCED MICRO DEV… +1, with a hover panel above it listing ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. and NVIDIA CORPORATION in full.
Hovering the +N lists every company in full, including the one the cell had to shorten. The names here are labels only — clicking one does not open the company page.
Records without a title

A record occasionally arrives with nothing in Title, which leaves nothing to click. Use Edit on that row to give it a name, and the row becomes usable like any other.

Opening a record

Click a title and Orbit reopens that conversation — its questions, its answers and its settings — on the page it was held on. Each type goes to a different page, so the same list is the way back into six different parts of the product.

TypeWhat it wasWhere the title takes you
Chat A conversation held on Orbit's standard chat page. The Chat page, with the conversation reloaded.
Search A document search run from Search mode on New Chat with Effort on Low. Explore, showing what the search found and the documents behind it.
Deep Search The same search run with Effort on High. Explore, the same page as Search.
PDF Chat Questions asked about a single document. PDF Chat, with the document on the right and the conversation on the left.
News Chat A conversation about news coverage. News Research, with the report reloaded.
Agentic A conversation handled by an agent, including anything started from Quick Analysis. Chat Agent, with the run, its answer and its tool calls.
Where new questions end up

A question you send in Chat mode on New Chat is answered by an agent, so it is filed as Agentic, not as Chat. Chat rows are older conversations, and the page they open can only be reached from here or from a share link.

Opening a record costs nothing

Reopening a conversation replays what was already produced. Credits are only spent when you ask something new once you are there.

Two older types

Deep Research and Agent Summary records are not offered in the Type filter, but the list still handles them if you have any. A Deep Research row carries a status tag next to its type and offers only Edit until the run reports COMPLETED; Share and Delete appear once it has finished.

Renaming a record

The pencil icon in Action, labelled Edit when you hover it, opens a dialog holding the current title. A title is required and can be up to 100 characters; the counter under the box shows how many you have used. Update saves, Cancel closes without changing anything.

The Edit dialog with a required Title field containing Annual Report, a 13 / 100 character counter under the box, and Cancel and Update buttons.
The box takes several lines of text even though the list shows the title on one — long titles are cut off in the table, not rejected here.
Renaming changes the label only

The conversation itself is untouched, and so is any share link you have already sent out — the Share page keeps the name the record had when you shared it.

Sharing a record

The share icon creates a link to that conversation and copies it to your clipboard in one step — there is no dialog to fill in. Orbit confirms with Copied to clipboard at the top of the screen. Sharing a record you have already shared copies the same address again rather than making a second link.

Every link you create this way is listed on the Share page, which is also where you withdraw one.

Anyone with the link can open it

A share address works without signing in to Orbit, and it carries the whole conversation — your questions as well as the answers. Treat it like a password: whoever you send it to can pass it on.

Deleting a record

The bin icon, labelled Delete, opens a Warning dialog naming the record. You have to type permanently delete into the box before Confirm will accept it; anything else is refused with Error Input.

The Warning dialog for deleting a record, reading Current Title is : Annual Report above the instruction to type permanently delete, an empty text box and Cancel and Confirm buttons.
Current Title is : names the row you clicked — check it matches before you type anything.
This cannot be undone

Deleting removes the conversation and its answers for good. There is no recycle bin and no way to restore it afterwards. The record also disappears from the Recent column on New Chat.

Pinning

Pinning is not done from this page. Use the ⋮ menu beside a conversation in the Recent column on New Chat — pinned conversations then sit in a Pinned group at the top of that column. It makes no difference to the order of this list.

Paging through the list

The number of records matching your filters is shown at the bottom left, next to the pager. The list shows 20 per page by default; the page-size box offers 20, 50 and 100. Changing the page size takes you back to the first page.
