Omnifact gives you the flexibility to edit your messages after you’ve sent them. This feature is invaluable when you want to correct typos, clarify your question, or refine your to get better results from the .
Think of message editing as your “second chance” button. It allows you to refine your prompt without starting over, helping you maintain conversation while getting more precise and helpful responses.
There are several scenarios where editing a message can be helpful:
Correct mistakes that might lead to misunderstandings or inaccurate responses.
Make your request more specific when the initial response doesn’t address your needs.
Improve the wording of your message to get more targeted and useful responses.
Include important information you forgot to mention in your original message.
Editing a message in Omnifact is straightforward:
Locate the Edit button
Find the “Edit” button in the top right corner of your message. This button appears on your messages after they’ve been sent.
Enter editing mode
Click the “Edit” button to transform your message into an editable text field. Your original message will become editable directly within the chat interface.
When you enter editing mode, you’ll see a warning message: “Attention: Editing this message will remove all following messages in this conversation.” This is important because changing your message will change the context of the conversation.
Make your changes
Modify your message as needed. You can:
Save or cancel your edits
After making your changes, you have two options:
View updated conversation
Once you click “Save & Submit,” your edited message will replace the original one in the chat. Omnifact will then generate a new response based on your edited message.
The AI assistant will generate a completely new response based on your edited message. Any previous responses to the original message will be removed from the conversation.
When you edit a message in Omnifact, it’s important to understand what happens:
Why previous responses are removed
Editing a message effectively changes the conversation’s history. Since the AI assistant’s responses are directly related to what you asked, changing your question means the previous answers no longer match the new context. This is why Omnifact removes subsequent messages and generates a new response based on your edited message.
When to edit vs. start a new chat
Before editing, consider if a follow-up question might be more effective than editing your original message. Sometimes adding clarification in a new message preserves useful context from the AI’s initial response. Learn more about Conversational Flow & Follow-Up Questions.
Make edits that genuinely improve your prompt or question, rather than making minor changes that don’t significantly affect the meaning.
Always pay attention to the warning about removing subsequent messages, and only proceed if you’re comfortable losing those responses.
If the AI’s response contains valuable information you want to keep, consider copying it before editing your message.
