Incognito Chats
TL;DR
Temporary sessions (marked by a ghost icon) that are not saved to history and not used for memory synthesis.
Definition
Temporary sessions (marked by a ghost icon) that are not saved to history and not used for memory synthesis. Use them for sensitive discussions you do not want Claude to remember long-term — salary negotiations, confidential client details, or exploratory conversations. Standard chats feed into memory synthesis by default.
Exam Context
Know that starting an Incognito chat prevents Claude from accessing conversation history via Chat Search. If you need to search past conversations, do not use Incognito mode.
