🥰 Feature Description

Is it possible to add back button features to the left and right, which would be very useful when users need to navigate back to any desired point? This is a basic feature present on chatgpt.com, but "anything" lacks it. It seems that for "anything," it deletes and replaces the content immediately, which sometimes causes me to mistakenly edit parts of the content editor incorrectly, resulting in previous questions and answers disappearing immediately and being unrecoverable, which happens to me frequently.

🧐 Proposed

  1. Implement Navigation (Back Button) Features:
    • Dual-Side Back Navigation: Add persistent “back” buttons on both the left and right sides of the interface. These should allow users to jump back to any previous point in the conversation history.
    • State Preservation: Instead of immediately deleting or replacing content when navigating, the system should save the current state so that users can recover or review previous interactions without data loss.

This approach would prevent accidental loss of data, provide intuitive navigation through the conversation history, and ensure that any edits are integrated seamlessly without fragmenting the dialogue.
