Using chat history

To use the chat history:

  1. In the WATSONX CODE ASSISTANT: CHAT window, use the hamburger icon to navigate to the Chat sessions option.

    The WATSONX CODE ASSISTANT: CHAT window lists all previous chat conversations. Observe that a unique number is assigned to each chat session.

  2. Navigate to the chat session that you want to reopen and click it. The WATSONX CODE ASSISTANT: CHAT window displays the details of the selected chat session.

  3. Select the message where IBM® watsonx Code Assistant™ for Z generated the last good result.

    Click on the ellipsis menu on the chat conversation and select the Start new chat option to start a new chat session.
