Understand chat activity
- Preparing message means Noema is preparing the request.
- Reasoning activity appears when a supported model is thinking.
- Reply text appears as the model produces its answer.
Preparation can take time when the request includes documents, attachments, or workspace context.
Retry an interrupted send
If a send is interrupted before an assistant response starts:
- Find the existing user message.
- Choose Retry Message beside it, or from its right-click menu.
- Wait for preparation and generation to begin again.
Noema retries the saved message and its attachments without inserting another copy into the transcript.
Retry is available for the latest eligible user message. It may be disabled while another request is running.
Delete an individual message
- Wait for the active request to finish, or stop it.
- Right-click the message.
- Choose Delete Message.
Noema removes the selected visible message while preserving later user and assistant messages, including their order and content.
Later replies remain as originally generated. Deleting an earlier message does not regenerate them.
Deletion controls are unavailable while the conversation is preparing or streaming a request.
Saving and responsiveness
For conversations with history enabled, Noema saves changes automatically. Version 4.1 improves background saving and chat responsiveness during ongoing work.
