Question bubbles

When you send a message that quotes a selection or a whole page, Folio remembers it. The page gets a bubble in its margin, so you can find the conversation again.

Open a question#

Click a bubble to see what you asked, on which page. Choose Show in Chat to open that conversation and scroll to your message. The Chat menu also lists the questions for the current document, and right-clicking a page lists the questions asked on it.

What a bubble holds#

A bubble is a record of what you asked: the quoted passage or page, and the conversation it was sent in. It doesn't store ChatGPT's answer, and there are no notes, colors, or highlights. Your chats stay on chatgpt.com.

Bubbles are drawn by Folio. They're never saved into the PDF and never printed, so the file you share is the file you opened.

Hide or delete#

• View › Question Bubbles shows or hides bubbles. The same switch is in Settings › Questions.
• Click a bubble and choose Delete to remove one.
• Settings › Questions › Delete All Questions… removes every bubble. Your chats on chatgpt.com stay.

Questions are saved on your Mac in ~/Library/Application Support/Folio/questions.json.
