# Managing Threads

> Organise, label, and manage your chat conversations

Every conversation in BlackMountain is a **thread**. You can organise, label, and manage your threads to keep your work structured.

## Thread Labels

Assign labels to categorise your threads:

* **Questions** -- Threads where you're seeking information
* **Reflections** -- Exploratory or brainstorming conversations
* **Collaborations** -- Working sessions with AI
* **Decisions** -- Threads that led to specific decisions

## Folders

Organise threads into folders for better structure:

1. **Create a folder** -- Click the folder icon in the Chats sidebar to create a new folder.
2. **Nest folders** -- Create sub-folders by dragging a folder into another.
3. **Move threads** -- Drag and drop threads into folders to organise them.

## Renaming Threads

Click on the thread title or use the context menu to rename a thread. The Platform auto-generates a title based on your first message, but you can change it to something more descriptive.

## Archiving

Archive threads you no longer need but want to keep:

* **Archive** -- Right-click a thread and select **Archive** to move it out of your active list.
* **Unarchive** -- Access archived threads and restore them to your active list.

## Forking Threads

Fork a thread to create a branch from a specific message:

1. Hover over a message in the conversation.
2. Click the **Fork** option.
3. A new thread is created starting from that point, preserving the conversation history up to that message.

This is useful when you want to explore a different direction without losing your original conversation.

## Searching Threads

Use the search function (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd> / <kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd>) to find threads by title or content.

## Deleting Threads

To permanently delete a thread, right-click it and select **Delete**. This action cannot be undone.
