# Create or update a memory
|
|
**Introduced 2.12**
|
|
{: .label .label-purple }
|
|
|
|
Use this API to create or update a conversational memory for [conversational search]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/search-plugins/conversational-search/). A memory stores conversation history for the current conversation.
|
|
|
|
Once a memory is created, you'll provide its `memory_id` to other APIs.
|
|
|
|
The POST method creates a new memory. The PUT method updates an existing memory.
|
|
|
|
When the Security plugin is enabled, all memories exist in a `private` security mode. Only the user who created a memory can interact with that memory and its messages.
