The Lara Chat sidebar is the main navigation area for chat history. It helps you move between conversations without losing your current workflow.
What the sidebar includes
- New chat button for starting a fresh conversation.
- Chat list with previous conversations.
- Search field for finding chats by title.
- Refresh button for reloading the chat list.
- Favorites entry for saved messages.
- Plan badge showing Free, Go, Plus, or Max access.
- Settings and subscription links from the profile area.
Collapsed and expanded states
On desktop, the sidebar can collapse into an icon rail or expand into a wider list. On mobile, it opens as a drawer so the chat remains usable on smaller screens.
When to start a new chat
Start a new chat when the topic changes, when you want a clean context, or when the previous conversation could confuse the next request.
Sidebar habit
Keep one chat per project or topic. It makes history, favorites, and sharing easier later.
