ChatGPT — Nov 22, 2024

A major overhaul of the web experience is here, highlighted by a completely redesigned sidebar featuring a new floating mode, soft dismiss behavior, and unlimited conversation access through an infinite scroll flyout. Other significant updates include a new composer bar layout, repositioned new chat button, and refined new conversation initiation for smoother scrolling.
