Recent threads are in the left sidebar, grouped by date. For anything older, select **All threads** at the bottom of that list to open the full **Threads** page, then search or filter.

## The sidebar list

Threads are grouped under **Today**, **Yesterday**, **This Week**, **This Month**, then by month. Newest first inside each group. A spinner on a row means that thread is still running.

Select a row to open the thread. When the list is empty it reads **No threads yet**.

The sidebar has no search. Use the **Threads** page for that.

## The Threads page

Select **Threads** in the AI Studio sidebar, or **All threads** at the foot of the sidebar list.

Two tabs split the page:

- **Primary** — threads you started yourself.
- **Agents** — threads created by agent runs.

The table shows **Title**, **Last message**, **Status** and **Model**.

## Narrow the list

- **Search** matches on the title, status and model of the threads on the page. When a search is active, **Search all of Evolve** appears for a wider search.
- **Status** filters to **Complete**, **In progress**, **In Queue**, **Failed** or **Retrying**.
- **Model** filters to one model.
- **Sort by** offers **Last message**, **Newest**, **Oldest**, **Title A-Z** and **Title Z-A**.

On a narrow screen the same controls sit behind one filter button under **All filters**.

## If it did not work

- **No records found.**: clear **Search**, then set **Status** and **Model** back to **All**.
- A thread you remember is not listed: check the **Agents** tab, and check you are in the Account you were using at the time.
- The list is stale: select the refresh button in the toolbar.
- **Failed to load conversations**: select **Retry** in the sidebar list.
