I tried looking for this, but all comments either are about how when going back you can “branch off” (or “fork”) the conversation and how you can resume past conversations from the command line or how you can create forks from it. But something I don’t see anywhere is how to go back to a specific branch that you initially dismissed? Claude code clearly says “the conversation will be forked” but as far as I can tell there’s no way to go to that specific fork. That is, every time you “fork” a conversation from within Claude Code and as far as I can tell, you lose the previous branch up to the line where you branched off. I use branching a lot because it’s an easy way to both iterate solutions and to go over a plan without launching new sessions. It’s particularly useful when you get a Claude instance that seems to be more “aligned” with you than usual. What happened today wasn’t even that. I was in a conversation and it turned out to be a dead end, but around the end Claude made a very nice summary that I was too stupid to not save. I wanted to go back to it after forking off into a new direction and couldn’t find any way to do it. I don’t doubt that conversation is saved somewhere, but I can’t access it. Is it even possible? submitted by /u/eduo
