The Claude Chat and Cowork merge drops conversation branching
r/ClaudeAI·low signal
An r/ClaudeAI post flags that the rolling Chat/Cowork merge removes branching, a feature that let users fork a conversation at any message and explore alternatives without losing the original path. The thread is small (55 upvotes, 19 comments) but it is a concrete regression in the same week Anthropic shipped Claude Code Projects, whose whole pitch is better handling of parallel work. Worth knowing before upgrading if your workflow depends on forking a long chat rather than restarting it.
