Check Existing Issues

I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

This document regarding chat Import is vague: https://docs.openwebui.com/features/chat-conversations/data-controls/import-export#importing-chats

Other compatible formats: JSON files following the expected structure

What is the "expected structure"? Where is the schema?

Desired Solution you'd like

I'd like a JSON schema that shows, unambiguously, what the import parser expects.

Alternatives Considered

An answer in the FAQ section indicating that the user will have to either read the source code in order to understand what's expected/accommodated or translate their JSON into either ChatGPT's format or the export format of Open WebUI.

Additional Context

Claude.ai user that wants to leave pre-paid plan for API and salvage existing chats.
