Overview of Chat History

Evelant's Chat History feature provides a seamless way for users to access their past conversations, enhancing productivity and ensuring that valuable information is never lost. Whether you’re following up on a previous discussion or retrieving important data, your chat history is a vital resource.

Automatic Saving of Conversations

When you are signed in to your Evelant account, all of your conversations are saved automatically. This feature is designed to ensure that you can easily return to any previous session at your convenience. The automatic saving mechanism operates in the background, so you don’t have to worry about manually saving your chats.

How It Works

  1. Sign In: Make sure you are logged into your Evelant account.
  2. Engage in Conversations: Start chatting using the extension. All exchanges will be logged automatically.
  3. Access History: Visit the dashboard or the session list within the extension to view your saved conversations.

Persisted Per Account

One of the significant advantages of Evelant's Chat History feature is that it is persisted per account rather than per device. This means:

  • You can sign in from any device—be it your laptop, tablet, or smartphone—and still have access to your complete chat history.
  • Your conversations are securely stored in the cloud, allowing for consistent access across multiple platforms.
