+# Chat Send History
+
+This sample shows how to implement a chat history that can be accessed by using the arrow keys when the
+sendbox input has focus. It aims to give an experience similar to a terminal history.
+
+> _Note: This is just a proof of concept thus should not be used in production
+> and lacks performance and security considerations._
+
+# Test out the hosted sample
+
+- [Try out with MockBot](https://microsoft.github.io/BotFramework-WebChat/17.chat-send-history)
+
+# Things to try out
+
+- Send some messages to the bot.
+- Use the up and down arrow keys to cycle through the send history.
+- Modify an entry in the history, this creates a new entry.
+
+# Other ideas
+
+- Autocomplete using history
+- Search through history
