The small panel and the expanded view
The assistant opens as a narrow panel on the right-hand side of the screen, or fills the whole screen on a phone. On a computer, the page moves over to make room for it. Unless the screen is very wide, the sidebar also shrinks to icons while the chat is open. The panel header has three controls: Chat History, an expand button and a close button.
The expand button switches to a much larger view, which is useful for long answers or for keeping your list of conversations beside the conversation. Press the same button again, now showing inward arrows, to shrink the panel back. You cannot expand the chat on a phone, because it already fills the screen there.
On a desktop screen, if you expand the panel and open the history, the two appear side by side. Your conversations are listed under the heading Chats on the left, and the open conversation is on the right. On smaller screens there is only room for one at a time, so the history replaces the conversation. While the history is showing, the close button takes you back to the conversation instead of closing the chat.
Closing the panel does not delete anything. When you open it again it starts a new conversation, and everything you asked before is still in the history. While you are editing a page that offers Edit mode, the chat opens in Edit mode instead, with your editing conversation kept. See Ask and Edit Modes.
Chat History
Chat History in the panel header lists your previous conversations, with the most recently used at the top. Each row takes its title from the first thing you asked in that conversation. Below the title it shows when the conversation was last used: Today, Yesterday or a date. Older conversations load as you scroll down. Until you have used the assistant, the list shows No chat history yet.
Click a row to reopen that conversation in full, including any answers you reported and any inventory change proposals with their status (Applied, Dismissed or Not applied). You can continue where you left off. The assistant still has the context of everything said in the conversation, and it is still tied to the yacht the conversation was started on.
Only you can see your chat history. It lists only the conversations you started. Other people's chats do not appear in your list, and yours do not appear in theirs. You can delete any of your conversations from the list using the trash icon on the row and confirming the deletion.
Starting a new conversation
Press New chat at the bottom of the history to clear the panel and start again. Start a new chat when you change subject, and always when you move to a different yacht. A conversation stays tied to the yacht it was started on, so starting a new chat is the only way to ask about another yacht. If you ask about the yacht you are now viewing in an older conversation, the assistant will usually tell you to start a new chat from that yacht.
In the side-by-side view, the conversation you are writing appears at the top of the list as New Chat until you send the first message. After that it becomes a normal entry titled with your question.
