  • Perplexity

    • You can’t directly transfer or merge your chat history from one Perplexity account into another. The official workaround is to put your chats in a shared Space/project and invite your new account as a collaborator. That preserves access rather than migrating the history into the new account.

      Keep your chats accessible from the new account

      Sign in to your old Perplexity account.

      Create a Space/project for the chats you want to keep.

      Add the existing threads to that Space/project.

      Invite the email address associated with your new Perplexity account as a collaborator.

      Sign in to the new account, accept the invitation, and check that you can open the threads. This follows Perplexity’s recommended workaround for keeping sessions accessible across accounts.

      The important distinction is access, not ownership or a full account migration: Perplexity says it cannot transfer account data. Don’t treat shared access as an independent backup.

      Save a separate copy of your history

      For important conversations, you can also save copies outside Perplexity:

      Open a thread and use its export option, if available, to save it as PDF or Markdown. Available export controls can vary by interface and plan.

      Alternatively, use your browser’s Print → Save as PDF, or copy the conversation and citation links into a document.

      Repeat for the threads you want to preserve; there isn’t a built-in account-wide “Export All” workflow described in the available export guides. Saving files also does not recreate those conversations as native history in the other account.

    • Share via TXST NetID email. Do not use email aliases.
