OpenAI removed the ability to view previous prompt edits

Seriously, who looked at one of the most useful features in ChatGPT and thought, “You know what would improve this? Making it fucking worse”. Before, I could edit a prompt, regenerate, compare different branches, and use the little arrows to go back to an earlier version if the new direction sucked. That was PERFECT for long conversations, writing, coding, roleplay, literally anything where you experiment with different responses. Now? Apparently we’re supposed to branch everything into a new fucking chat? WHY??? Some of my chats have hundreds of messages. Editing a prompt and being able to jump between versions was basically a fucking save system. I could try a different direction, decide it was shit, click back, and continue from the previous version. Now OpenAI apparently wants me to create a graveyard of 900 duplicate chats every time I want to test one fucking prompt variation. Who asked for this??? And this is what drives me insane about ChatGPT lately. Features that ACTUALLY WORK get randomly changed or removed while users are left wondering whether it's a bug, an A/B test, or another brilliant case of “we redesigned something nobody complained about”. submitted by /u/Different-Mess4248 [link] [comments]
