Accessing your settings

1. Amplify has two areas labeled as settings, each with different options.
   1. Click on the Settings icon near the top-left side of your screen, just above your Conversation Panel. You will see options for importing and exporting your conversations.  Choosing one of these options will import or export your entire conversation history in a JSON file, which Amplify can read.
   2. Click on your profile icon in the upper-right corner for visual configuration and storage options as well as access to sharing and data. 

Configuration Options

• Theme: You can switch between Dark mode and Light mode.
• Color Scheme: Choose between color highlights used in the Amplify interface.
• Sharing: Shortcut to the sharing interface.
• My data: View which files you have uploaded into your Amplify account.
• Within Settings:
  • Configurations: Dark/Light mode, which available AI models you wish to display, and to enable certain features such as allowing Artifacts, using Smart Focused Messages, and more (see below: Advanced Features).
  • Conversation Storage: You can control whether conversations are stored locally only in the device that you are using  or in the cloud for multi-device access.
