A Smarter Way to Organize Your UT Verse Conversations 

Whether you manage dozens of conversations or hundreds, this new tool in UT Verse makes it easier than ever to keep your AI workspace organized. 

A Complete Folder System 

Thread Folders provides a structure for sorting and managing conversations in a way that matches how you work. 

Key capabilities include: 

  • Create, rename, and delete folders 
    Build your space from scratch or continuously refine it as your needs evolve. 
  • Nested folders (sub‑folders) 
    Organize at multiple levels—for example: 
    Courses → ENG 304 → Assessment Planning 
  • Drag‑and‑drop movement 
    Quickly reorganize threads with simple mouse movements. 
  • Multi‑select with Ctrl/Shift 
    Move multiple conversations at once for faster cleanup. 
  • Auto‑folder generation 
    Let UT Verse recommend logical folder names based on your existing content. 
  • Auto‑thread organization 
    UT Verse can detect themes and categorize conversations intelligently. 
  • Visibility options 
    Choose which folders appear in your sidebar to prioritize what matters most. 
  • Redesigned settings panel 
    A simpler, more intuitive layout gives you clearer control of your organizational tools.
