The "Branch in new chat" feature lets you start a new Chat from any existing message in an existing Chat. The new Chat begins with the complete conversation history up to and including the selected message, while the original Chat stays unchanged. This means you retain all the context and flow of the discussion leading up to that point, allowing you to explore different directions, test alternate prompts, or continue the conversation without modifying the original thread.

A new Chat opens automatically: A new chat opens in a new tab starting from the selected message. The original chat remains unchanged, and the new chat is labeled “Branched from [Chat Title]”.
