# Chat & sessions

[Go to Chat](https://xos.prozessx.com/workspace/chat)

## How do I start a new session?

In the chat, you tell the agent what you want done. Every conversation runs in its own Session that you can find again later.

- Click Chat in the sidebar. If you're already in the [chat](https://xos.prozessx.com/workspace/chat), the click starts a fresh conversation.
- Type your task into the input field (marker 1) and send it. Or click one of the suggestion cards below it, which is sent directly as a message.

The session gets its name automatically from the first words of your first message (50 characters max). Until then it's called New conversation („Neue Unterhaltung“).

## How do I work with the agent?

Write what you need in plain language. Press Enter to send and Shift+Enter for a line break. While the agent is working, the send button turns into a red Stop (Stopp) button that cancels the response.

Below the input field you control the next message (see image above):

- Auto (marker 2): picks the AI model. More in the article Model choice, dictation & Canvas.
- Attachment (Anhang) (marker 3): attaches a file.
- Modes (Modi) (marker 4): Plan, Web Search, Deep research or Brainstorming, see the article Plan mode, web & deep research.

If you type / at the start of a line, a command menu with working modes opens: /plan , /debug , /explore , /fix , /refactor , /test and /docs .

Every response and every code block has a Copy (Kopieren) button. If the agent asks a question, a card to answer it appears above the input field. You also find open questions in the [Inbox](https://xos.prozessx.com/workspace/inbox).

## How do I attach a file?

You can give the agent an image, a PDF or a text, spreadsheet or code file (for example .txt, .md, .csv, .json, .docx, .xlsx).

- Click Attachment (Anhang) below the input field (marker 3).
- Select the file. It appears as a small tile above the input field. Click the × to remove it again.
- Write your message and send it. The file goes along.

A file can be 10 MB max, otherwise you see the notice File too large („Datei zu groß“). Large images are downsized automatically before sending.

## How do I find and manage sessions?

Your chats are listed in the sidebar, grouped by Today (Heute) , Last 7 days (Letzte 7 Tage) and Older (Älter) . A click opens the session with its full history.

- Hover over a session and click the three-dot menu.
- Choose Share (Teilen) , Rename (Umbenennen) or Delete (Löschen) .
- For Rename (Umbenennen) , type the new name and confirm with Enter (cancel with Escape ).

Delete removes the session immediately and permanently, without asking. It can't be restored.

## How do I share a session with colleagues?

You can share a session with people in your organization so they can read along or work on it with you.

- Open the session menu (three dots) and click Share (Teilen) . The Share session (Session teilen) window opens.
- Search for the person in the Search users… (Benutzer suchen…) field and select them.
- Set the permission: Read only (Nur lesen) or Read & write (Lesen & Schreiben) .
- Click Share (Teilen) . The person is then listed under Shared with (Geteilt mit) , where you can also remove the share.

If a session is shared with you as read only, the input field shows Read-only access („Nur Lesezugriff“). You can't reshare a session that was shared with you.
