# How Do I Manage My Chat Messages?

You have several options for managing your chat messages and controlling what you see in your conversation list.

## Understanding Your Chat Messages

In your chat conversation list, you may see:

* **Private and group chats** (direct messages with one or more members)
* **Space chats** (conversations happening inside a Space)
* **Chat replies** (responses to messages in any chat type)

## Three-Dot Menu Options

### From Your Conversation List

In the three-dot menu next to any conversation, you can choose to:

* Mark it read or unread
* Bookmark it
* Open it in a new window
* Mute it
* Enable sounds
* Show the send button
* Access your notification settings for your account

To learn more about adding and removing members, [check out this article](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-members/engage-and-interact/untitled-page#adding-and-removing-members).

## Chat Notifications

Muting a conversation stops all notifications for that chat.

To change how you receive notifications, go to: ​**Personal Settings > Notifications**

For more details, see our [**notifications article**](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/content-and-messaging/what-notifications-will-i-get-as-a-host).

## Modifying How Messages Are Sent

You can choose whether your private chat messages send when you press **Enter** or when you click a **Send** button.

1. Click the **chat icon** in the upper-right corner.
2. Click the **gear icon**.
3. Toggling the **Show Send Button** on means you have to select "Send"

## Archiving Chat Conversations

Archiving hides a conversation from your list. It reappears on its own if someone sends a new message.

There’s no separate unarchive button—you bring an archived conversation back by starting it again:

* **Group or multi-member chats:** Start a new chat with the same members. Selecting **Start Chat** picks up your existing conversation and its full history rather than starting fresh.
* **1:1 chats:** Go to the member’s profile and select **Chat**.

For information on blocking or reporting members, see [**How Do Members Block or Report Others?**](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/admin-and-moderation/how-do-members-block-or-report-others)
