Every version in a list

Three steps
-
01
Edit a message
Press Edit in ChatGPT, change your message and send it. ‹ 1/2 › appears under it.
-
02
Press ‹
The first version comes back with its answers, right in this chat. No reload.
-
03
Keep typing
Your next message continues the version on screen. The other one is still there behind ›.
And four more things
Regenerated answers too
Arrows next to Copy on answers you regenerated. Where ChatGPT shows its own, there is no second pair.
Back where you were
Return to a version and you land on the branch you left there, not just the newest one.
Temporary chats and projects
Works in temporary chats, where ChatGPT has no way to see versions at all, in projects and in long chats.

What it touches
The chat you have open
It reads that chat’s versions from ChatGPT, from your signed-in tab, and switches which one is on screen.
Only chatgpt.com
It runs on chatgpt.com and on one page of ours after a purchase. Nowhere else.
Your chats never come to us
It asks etcetera.tools which day your free days began, checks a Pro key about once a day and counts installs with a random ID. Nothing about your chats, no third-party analytics.

Questions
Where did ChatGPT’s arrows go?
In early 2026 ChatGPT replaced the ‹ 1/2 › arrows on edited messages with “See versions”: a window you can only read, and “Branch in new chat” to carry on. This extension puts the arrows back. What people lost with them — ChatGPT arrows missing.
How is this different from “Branch in new chat”?
That copies the conversation into a new chat. Here you switch versions where you are, and your next message continues the one on screen. One chat, every branch inside it.
Do my chats go anywhere?
No. Versions are read from chatgpt.com with your own signed-in session and stay in your browser. Our server never sees a word of them.
Does it change or delete anything?
No. It only changes which version is on screen, as the old arrows did. Every version stays in the chat.
Does it work in temporary chats?
Yes. ChatGPT shows no versions there at all, so the arrows are the only way back to an earlier one.
ChatGPT still has arrows on some answers. Will I see two pairs?
No. Where ChatGPT shows its own arrows under an answer, the extension adds none.
What is free and what is Pro?
Everything is Pro, and your first 3 days have all of it with no key and no card. After that the arrows still show how many versions a message has; switching, the list of versions and temporary chats need Pro.
I bought Pro. What now?
In the browser you paid from, Pro switches on by itself. In another browser, click the extension’s icon, press “Enter key” and paste the key from your receipt email.
How many browsers does one key cover?
Two at once. To move it, press “Remove key” in the extension’s popup in the browser you no longer use, or remove that browser in your account — the link is in the receipt.
Can I get my money back?
Yes, within 14 days of a charge, for any reason. One email is enough — see the refund policy.
Is it made by OpenAI?
No. Branch Switcher for ChatGPT is an independent extension, not affiliated with OpenAI. ChatGPT is a trademark of OpenAI.
It stopped working after a ChatGPT update
ChatGPT changes its pages often. Write to support@etcetera.tools and say what you see. It reaches the developer directly.
