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

  • Add context that was missing from the original message

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.

Best Practices for Editing Messages

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.

Be purposeful with edits

Make edits that genuinely improve your prompt or question, rather than making minor changes that don’t significantly affect the meaning.

Review the warning message

Always pay attention to the warning about removing subsequent messages, and only proceed if you’re comfortable losing those responses.

Save important information

If the AI’s response contains valuable information you want to keep, consider copying it before editing your message.
