Why Conversation Organization Matters
Conversations in elvex are more than just chat logs—they're valuable knowledge assets that contain context, insights, and work progress. As your usage grows, you'll accumulate dozens or even hundreds of conversations. Without proper organization, finding specific information or continuing previous work becomes increasingly difficult.
Conversation Naming: Creating Order from Chaos
Why Name Your Conversations?
By default, elvex generates conversation titles based on your initial messages, but these auto-generated names often don't reflect the conversation's true purpose or outcome. Naming conversations serves several important purposes:
Improved Findability: A descriptive name like "Q3 Marketing Campaign Analysis" is much easier to locate than an auto-generated title like "Help me analyze this data."
Context Preservation: Good names capture the essence of what was discussed, making it easier to return to the conversation's content months later.
Professional Organization: When sharing conversations with colleagues, clear names demonstrate thoughtfulness and make collaboration more efficient.
How to Name Conversations
When you are working in you assistant, make sure the "recent conversation sidebar" is open and visible.

Conversation Cloning: Building on Success
Why Clone Conversations?
Conversation cloning creates a duplicate of an existing conversation, preserving the context and history while allowing you to explore different directions. This powerful feature serves several strategic purposes:
Scenario Exploration: When you want to explore "what if" scenarios without losing your original conversation thread, cloning provides a safe space to experiment.
Collaboration Starting Points: Clone a well-developed conversation to share with team members as a starting point for their own exploration.
Version Control: Before making significant changes to a valuable conversation, clone it to preserve the original state.
When to Clone vs. Start Fresh
Clone when:
You want to explore alternative approaches to the same problem
You've built up valuable context that would be time-consuming to recreate
You're sharing a conversation template with others
You want to preserve a "golden" conversation while experimenting
Start fresh when:
You're moving to a completely different topic
The existing context might confuse or bias the new direction
You want to ensure clean, focused results
The original conversation has become too long or complex
How to Clone
When you are working in you assistant, make sure the "recent conversation sidebar" is open and visible.

Conversation Sharing: Enabling Collaboration
Why Share Conversations?
Sharing conversations transforms elvex from a personal tool into a collaborative platform. The ability to share conversations serves multiple organizational needs:
Knowledge Transfer: Share successful problem-solving conversations to help colleagues learn effective approaches.
Collaborative Analysis: Multiple team members can contribute to the same conversation, building on each other's insights.
Quality Assurance: Share conversations for review, feedback, or validation of results.
Training and Onboarding: Use exemplary conversations as training materials for new team members.
Transparency: Share decision-making processes and reasoning with stakeholders.
Types of Conversation Sharing
Internal Team Sharing: Share with colleagues for collaboration, review, or knowledge sharing. This is typically done through your organization's elvex workspace.
Support Sharing: Share with elvex support for troubleshooting, bug reports, or assistance with assistant behavior.
How to Share Conversations
The sharing process typically involves:
Accessing Share Options: Look for a share icon or menu option within the conversation interface
Selecting Recipients: Choose who should have access (team members, support, etc.)
Setting Permissions: Determine whether recipients can view only or also contribute
Confirming the Share: Review and confirm your sharing settings
Effective conversation management in elvex—through thoughtful naming, strategic cloning, and purposeful sharing—transforms individual AI interactions into organizational knowledge assets. By understanding the "why" behind these features, you can make informed decisions about when and how to use them, ultimately improving both your personal productivity and your team's collaborative effectiveness.
Remember that these features are tools to support your work, not requirements. Start with simple naming practices, experiment with cloning when you see opportunities, and share conversations when collaboration would add value. As you develop these habits, you'll find that elvex becomes not just a more powerful tool, but a more organized and collaborative workspace.
