Two tools for the lifecycle of a conversation: disappearing messages remove chat history automatically after a set time, and export takes a copy of a conversation out of Scholardemia for your records.
Disappearing messages
Each conversation has its own disappearing-messages setting: Off, 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. Once a duration is set, new messages are removed for everyone that long after they are sent. The timer does not apply to existing history; earlier messages stay unless you remove them manually.
- In a direct conversation, either participant can change the setting.
- In a group, only the owner or an admin can change it.
- Everyone in the conversation can see which duration is active.
Export a conversation
Open the conversation and choose Export
Any participant can export a conversation they are part of.
Pick a format and range
Choose PDF (best for sharing and printing) or plain text, set a date range if you do not need the full history, and decide whether to include a listing of attachments and media.
Download the file
The export downloads directly. Very long conversations can time out; if that happens, narrow the date range and export in parts.
