Fork Conversations

Fork Conversations let you create a copy of a conversation and explore different directions without affecting the original.

How It Works

1. Start with an existing conversation
2. Fork it at any point
3. Explore a different direction
4. Keep the original conversation intact

When to Fork

• Different approaches: Try multiple solutions to the same problem
• What-if scenarios: Explore "what if" questions
• Backup: Create a safety copy before making changes
• Collaboration: Share a starting point with others
