"textContent": "Hi folks, I can see why this feels disruptive, especially if you rely on comparing different response versions often. A few people noticed the same thing after recent UI changes.\n\nHere’s what we found after checking further:\n\nThe branch chats weren’t removed, but the way to access them now depends on the browser/UI version.\n\n * In Google Chrome: after editing a prompt, you should still see the old `<1/2>` style toggle for switching between versions.\n * In browsers like Microsoft Edge: the flow changed a bit. Instead of the arrows, you’ll see **“Branch to a new conversation.”**\n\n\n\nWhen you use that option:\n\n * the edited response gets added as a new branch right below\n * your original thread is still preserved\n * you can return to older versions anytime from the **Recents** panel on the left sidebar, where the edited thread usually appears labeled as **“Branch”**\n\n\n\nThis definitely isn’t as obvious as the old version arrows, agreed. The functionality is still there, but the UI behavior is inconsistent across browsers right now.\n\n-Mark G.",
