Every save in Savelore includes a link back to the original conversation it came from. In Collection Mode notes, this takes the form of numbered citations. Jump to source lets you instantly verify, re-read, or continue any conversation that contributed to your research.

How it works

When you save a response, Savelore stores the URL of the conversation and the position of the message within it. Later, when you click a citation or the source link, it:

1. Opens the original ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini conversation in a new tab
2. Scrolls directly to the AI message you saved from

If the tab is already open, it focuses the existing tab and scrolls to the message.

In individual saves

Every save in the sidebar has a → Source link at the bottom of its detail view. Click it to jump back to the original conversation.

In Collection Mode notes

Citations in collection notes are hyperlinks — [1], [2], [3] and so on. Click any citation number to jump to that source.

This is what makes Collection Mode useful for research: you don't have to trust your notes. Any claim you're uncertain about is one click from verification.

When source links break

Source links can stop working in two situations:

You deleted the conversation. If you delete a conversation from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, the link 404s. The save still exists in Savelore, but the source link won't load. This is expected — the source is gone.

The platform changed the URL format. Occasionally AI platforms change how conversation URLs are structured. If this happens, the link may fail to scroll to the right position. The conversation will still open, but you may need to scroll manually.

Privacy note

Source links are stored locally (or in your Savelore cloud account if you're signed in). They're never shared publicly. If you export a collection to Notion or as a file, the citation links are included — anyone with the link can access the original conversation if they're logged in to that platform.
