Editing and Deleting Messages
Editing User Messages
When you edit a sent user message, the original message is preserved and the AI generates a new response based on the edit. This creates a conversation branch.
Editing AI Responses
You can directly edit AI responses too. Editing preserves the original so you can revert at any time.Deleting Messages
When you delete a message, its child responses are reattached to the parent so the conversation flow stays intact.Branch Navigation
When a message has multiple branches, an indicator like1/3 appears below it. Use the left/right arrows to navigate between branch responses.
