Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. First clarify the folder data model, conversation-to-folder behavior, and scope of browsing and search. Done should cover creating, renaming, deleting, moving, browsing, and searching folders, with unassigned conversations retained in a default location.

Description

Feature Request: Organize Conversations into Folders

I would like to request a feature that allows users to create folders to organize and store their past GitHub Copilot conversations.

This would make it easier to manage conversations by project, topic, or team. Users should be able to:

  • Create, rename, and delete folders
  • Move conversations into folders
  • Browse conversations by folder
  • Search within a folder
  • Keep conversations that are not assigned
    to a folder in a default location

This feature would improve organization and make it easier to find and revisit previous conversations.
