Get back to the original material behind an idea.

Search by what you remember, inspect the exact passage and version, then decide whether to use it.

The situation. You remember why a choice mattered, but not where you discussed it—or whether a later summary kept the condition intact.

Step 1

Start with the idea you remember.

Use a phrase or a meaning-based question to look through supported, available material. The example searches for the reason OFX was left out of an earlier launch scope.

CSV and OFX together covers more import cases, but the OFX path still needs validation.

The result names its conversation, turn, author and revision.

Step 2

Read the original in context.

Open the identified passage and its version. See nearby context where it is available, and distinguish the source’s words from an AI interpretation.

Before

We can compare the launch scopes without committing to either.

Matched

CSV and OFX together covers more import cases, but the OFX path still needs validation.

After

We can explore either option without choosing a launch scope yet.

Use as inputClose
The matched sentence with the text before and after it, from revision 1 of that reply.

Step 3

Choose whether it belongs in the next question.

Reading a result does not add it to a conversation. Use an exact passage as input only when you choose to do so; it does not become Current by being found.

What the result is, and what it is not

You do not need to import, sort or structure anything before asking. Find is there when you need to get back to material, not a step every conversation has to take.

Who wrote it

AI wording · illustrative

CSV and OFX together covers more import cases, but the OFX path still needs validation.

This is an AI reply in an earlier conversation. It is not a judgment you confirmed, and it is not a sentence from the Release validation note.

Later changes do not rewrite it

Revision 1 of that reply stays as it was written. Later, version 2 of the Release validation note says CSV and OFX validation are complete. Both are true for their own time and source.

Release validation note · version 1

CSV validation is complete. OFX validation is incomplete. The import failure guide is still incomplete.

Release validation note · version 2

CSV and OFX validation are complete. The import failure guide is still incomplete.

Finding, reading, using and sending are separate

  1. Find

    Results are places to look. Nothing is added anywhere.

  2. Open and read

    Read only. Close leaves your draft, its inputs and Current as they were.

  3. Use as input

    You choose one exact passage and revision for the next message. The message is still a draft.

  4. Send

    Only Send sends it. A passage never becomes Current by being found or used.

“CSV and OFX together covers more import cases, but the OFX path still needs validation.”

How should we describe import support at launch?

One exact revision chosen as the input for an unsent question. Current is unchanged.

Earlier answers keep the basis they had when they were sent, including any passage chosen as input. Today’s Current is not applied to them.

Coverage

Search coverage depends on the material, its availability and the enabled search path. It is not a promise to search every saved message or document. Partial or unavailable evidence is identified rather than filled in.

  • If a source is unavailable, or only part of it could be searched, the result says so.
  • Not finding something does not mean it was never said.
  • An AI summary is never shown as the original.
  • Finding original material in a Matter is part of both plans.
