I’d love the ability to fork a conversation from any message—essentially to “branch” a chat into alternate versions without losing the original thread. This would allow for exploring different emotional tones, ideas, or creative directions from the same starting point, much like version control in software.
Right now, the only workaround is to copy a message and start a new chat manually, which loses a lot of nuance, tone, and conversational momentum. A built-in “Fork from here” or “Explore alternate path” button would make ChatGPT dramatically more powerful for storytelling, decision analysis, and emotionally layered conversations.
This feature would be especially helpful for users working through complex thought trees, relationship dynamics, or iterative creative work.
