Snapshot points in Chat Window

Feature Requests
1

It would be great to create a snapshot point in a chat window, so we can always revert back to that point just in case.

For example, I have a long chat. Close to the end of the chat, the model started getting confused, so I told it to stop, as we would start again. I would love to roll back to a particular point in time and start from there again.

For example:

Chat
Code Implemented
Chat
Code Implemented
Chat
Chat
** Snapshot #1 **

Chat Continues
Code Implemented
** Snapshot #2 **

Chat Continues
Code Implemented
Told it to stop and revert to Snapshot #2 ← Anything after Snapshot 2 until this point is reversed and removed from the context.

Continue with chat

This will help in getting back to a particular state and remove it from the context (or removing it from the context can be an option when asking to revert to a particular point)

Hi @bymarcelolewin and welcome to the forum.

Thank you for the feature request.

I believe this has been already integrated and is available in Cursor as Checkpoints. You can insert then prompts at many points inside a response where you think AI went wrong.

Thank you for telling about that.

The issue I see with that is that it’s automatic and Cursor decides when to create it. What I would love to do is create a checkpoint manually and if I want to revert to a particular checkpoint, I can pass it a command like:

Revert to checkpoint #123 and clear all the history up until then.

Or

Revert to checkpoint #123 (this would only revert the code, not the chat history)

Or something like that.

That way, I’m in control of where and what to do.

If that makes sense?

I see, yes thats quite similar but would need manual checkpoints and controlling chat with request text.

Definitely interesting feature :slight_smile:
