Move around a long thread

Hover the dots at the right edge of a long thread to open the Conversation map, then select an entry to jump to that message.

The map appears once a thread has eight or more messages, and on wide screens only.

Use the map

1. Move the pointer to the dot rail at the right edge, or focus the control labelled Open conversation map.
2. The panel lists one entry per message, marked You or Assistant, with the first line of the message.
3. Select an entry. The thread scrolls to that message and highlights it.

Hide your own prompts

Open the thread's More options menu and select Collapse prompts to leave only the replies on screen. The same item then reads Show prompts. The map follows: with prompts hidden it lists replies only.

Read a finished thread end to end

Opening a thread from the Threads page gives a read-only view with a sticky header. It carries the same Show prompts and Hide prompts control, and a Back button to the list.

To carry on writing in that thread, select Continue.

If it did not work

• No dots at the right edge: the thread has fewer than eight messages, or the window is too narrow.
• The map lists fewer entries than you expect: prompts are collapsed. Select Show prompts.
• Selecting an entry moves to the wrong place: reload the page so the message list re-measures.
• The read-only view will not accept a message: you are not the author of that thread. Use Fork. See Fork a thread.
