The other Library views

The Library has views in its left column that show your saved AI chats in different ways: Timeline, Pinned, Highlights, Notes, Asked twice and Archive. Each view is the same chats sorted another way, like photos sorted by date, by album or by favorite.

The Timeline shows your chats week by week, with the topics of each week

Why use the other views?​
