Chatgpt has this baked in, as you can revert branches after editing, they just dont make it easy to traverse.

This chrome extension used to work to allow you to traverse the tree: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chatgpt-conversatio...

I copied it a while ago and maintain my own version but it isnt on the store, just for personal use.

I assume they dont implement it because it is such a niche user that wants this and so isnt worth the UI distraction

>they just dont make it easy to traverse

I needed to pull some detail from a large chat with many branches and regenerations the other day. I remembered enough context that I had no problem using search and finding the exact message I needed.

And then I clicked on it and arrived at the bottom of the last message in final branch of the tree. From there, you scroll up one message, hover to check if there are variants, and recursively explore branches as they arise.

I'd love to have a way to view the tree and I'd settle for a functional search.
