Hey @Nina_Horne!

If you select Help > Toggle Developer Tools, and head over to the Console tab, do you see errors when you try to pin the chat?

I am not seeing anything in the console tab of the dev tools: https://jam.dev/c/7d4c784c-643e-49cc-a57f-2438dd45cf4a

Thanks @Nina_Horne!

Couple of questionsL

  • In the video you shared, the agent is still generating a response. Is the behavior different from agents that have finished generating?
  • If you open up a new workspace (a different repo/folder), are you also prevented from pinning chats? Trying to figure out if this could be workspace-specific.

  • No difference when the response is generating vs finished
  • I am able to pin in a fresh workspace!

Hey @Nina_Horne

@Zhenghao_Peng Found a solution over here! A fix has also been merged, so in the future you won’t run into this.

Long story short: Unpinned any archived chats, and you’ll be able to archive new chats again.
