Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4836

What would you like to see?

when I edit a message I want to be able to still have the past conversation flow available

there could be a thread parent in the sidebar (collapsed tree + icon) that unfolds and displays the tree structure of the branched conversations.

when I search for terms in the searchfield I'd like the thread parent to show up unfolded, with only the matching branches up to the message that includes the search term. any branch below that message shall be collapsed but available. branches unrelated to the search term shall not be displayed

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Jan 8, 2026):

The complexity required to support this architecture is quite significant if I understand it correctly.

Creating a new branch for every edit would likely crowd the sidebar UI and lead to a confusing "infinite fork" structure that is difficult to navigate since every edit makes a fork of a conversation.

For these concerns, I cannot see us supporting such a complex UX/UI request. If I am misunderstanding the requests please feel free to correct me on this
