Every conversation with Mist is a chat. Mist saves each chat, so you can come back later and pick up where you left off, or see how something was built.

​
Start a chat

Click New chat in the Chats section of the sidebar, or press Cmd+N (Ctrl+N on Windows). Each project also has its own chats, listed with the project in the sidebar.

​
Find an earlier chat

  • In the sidebar, look under Chats, or under the project you worked on.
  • Type in Search projects at the top of the sidebar. It also finds chats by title.
Search matches chat titles only, not the messages inside a chat.

​
Manage a chat

Click Chat options at the top of a chat for:
  • Pin or Unpin: pin the chat, or unpin it.
  • Rename: give the chat a new title.
  • Close chat: remove the chat from the sidebar.
You can also right-click a chat in the sidebar and click Close chat.
Closing a chat hides it, but Mist keeps the transcript on your computer. Mist doesn’t have a way to reopen a closed chat.

​
Edit, rewind or delete a message

Hover over a message you sent to see its actions:
  • Edit message: change the message and run it again.
  • Rewind to here: drop everything after this message. Mist asks you to confirm.
  • Delete message: delete this message and everything after it. This can’t be undone.
To clear the whole chat, type /clear. See Slash commands.

​
Limits

  • Mist keeps the latest 200 messages of each chat. Older messages drop off.
  • Chats are saved on your computer, not in your Fluid account. If you sign out, your chat history stays on this computer.

​
Frequently asked questions

No. History in the preview toolbar is the version history of a project’s files and publishes, with a way to roll back. See Run and publish. Changes Mist made to your company through the Fluid API are in Time Machine.
Type /compact and send it. Mist writes a short summary of the goals, decisions and current state. Start a new chat and paste the summary in, so the new chat starts with what matters.
