How to select multiple chats in ChatGPT
Updated July 13, 2026
Quick answer
Native ChatGPT has no checkboxes, no Shift-click, and no select-all, so it cannot act on more than one chat at a time. GPT Master adds the selection layer it is missing: hover any row for a checkbox, click to pick chats one by one, or Shift-click to grab a whole range. With a set selected, a single action archives, moves, stars, or deletes the group. Free covers a starter set; Pro lifts the cap.
Selecting several chats at once feels like it should be basic, and in most apps it is: tick a few boxes, or click one item and Shift-click another. ChatGPT has neither. Each conversation stands alone with a three-dot menu that only ever acts on that one chat. If you are trying to grab a group to file, archive, or clear, the mechanic you are reaching for is not there. Adding it is the whole point of GPT Master bulk actions.

- 1
Install GPT Master and open ChatGPT
Add GPT Master from the Chrome Web Store (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera) and open chatgpt.com. The sidebar panel loads next to your conversation list, and every row gains a checkbox on hover.

Select chats by clicking or Shift-clicking
Hover a conversation and click its checkbox to select it. Keep clicking to add more, or click the first in a run and Shift-click the last to take everything between them. Selected rows highlight so the batch is easy to review.

Choose what to do with the selection
Open the action bar that appears once anything is checked. From there, one click archives, moves to a folder, stars, or deletes the entire selection. The selecting is the work; the action itself is a single step.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I select all my ChatGPT chats at once?
- Yes, with GPT Master. Scroll to load the rows you want, then take a full range with Shift-click. On free you may work in a few passes; Pro removes the cap so one selection can cover everything.
- Does Shift-click select a range like other apps?
- Yes. Click the first conversation, then Shift-click another, and everything in between is selected. It behaves the way range-select does in a file manager or an email inbox.
- What can I do with multiple chats once they are selected?
- Archive, move to a folder, star, or delete, each as a single bulk action. The same selection can be filed or cleared, so you choose the outcome after picking the chats.
- Does selecting reach conversations from months ago?
- Yes. Scroll down to load older chats and their checkboxes work the same as recent ones. Selection covers your full history, not only what is currently on screen.
