Sidebar Navigation

The sidebar is the main navigation for your Writingmate workspace. On a small screen, open it with the sidebar button in the chat header. Selecting an item closes the mobile sidebar so you can continue working.

Workspace selector

The current workspace appears at the top. Open the selector to move between workspaces available to your account. Projects, chats, plan access, and settings can differ by workspace, so check the workspace name before starting or sharing work.

New Chat

Select New Chat to open a blank conversation. Starting a new chat also avoids sending history from an older conversation when it is no longer needed.

Search

Select Search to find chats and saved prompts. Use the All, Chats, and Prompts tabs to narrow the results. You can also open Search with Command+K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux.

Prompts

Select Prompts to create, organize, and reuse saved prompts. A prompt can hold instructions you use often, such as a review checklist or a preferred writing format.

Agents

Select Agents to browse task-specific AI helpers or create a custom agent with its own instructions, model, and tools. See Overview of Agents for details.

Images

Select Images to open AI image generation. Choose an image model, enter a prompt, and adjust the available generation settings. See AI Image Generation.

Video

Select Video to open AI video generation. Choose a supported video model and create a clip from a prompt or reference media. See AI Video Generation.

Projects

The Projects group appears for signed-in users. Select New project to create a project, or select an existing project to open its chats and files. A chat assigned to a project is shown inside that project instead of the main chat history.

Chat history

Chats that are not inside a project appear below Projects. Writingmate groups them under Pinned, Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, and Older than last month as needed.

Open the menu next to a chat to:

pin or unpin it
rename it
keep it private or make it public
move it to a project
export it as Markdown, JSON, or CSV
delete it

Chats are private by default. Changing a chat to Public changes who can access it, so review the conversation before sharing. See Manage Chat History for more detail.

Open your profile at the bottom of the sidebar to access account settings, plan details, the affiliate dashboard, documentation, product tour, language and theme controls, support, and sign out. Workspace switching is handled by the workspace selector at the top of the sidebar.

Keep sidebar details private

The sidebar can show your name, email, workspace name, project names, and chat titles. Before sharing a screenshot or screen recording, collapse the sidebar or hide those details. Do not publish a screenshot that reveals private client, project, or conversation names.
