Edit Messages
Edit any message in a conversation and optionally regenerate from that point.
AgentOne lets you edit any message in the conversation - both user messages and assistant messages - directly from the chat view. This is useful for correcting a prompt, adjusting phrasing, or manually fixing an assistant response.
Editing a User Message
- Hover over a user message to reveal the message action row.
- Click Edit message (pencil icon).
- Modify the text in the inline editor.
- Choose whether to enable Regenerate when Saved.
- Click Save to apply, or Cancel to discard.
Regenerate when Saved
When this toggle is on, AgentOne discards all messages after the edited message and generates a fresh response from the updated context. This is the most common use case - you changed your prompt and want a new answer.
When it is off, the edit is saved as-is without triggering a new response. The conversation history reflects your change, but the subsequent messages are left in place. This can be useful for manually correcting a typo in your own message without invalidating a useful answer.
The default state of this toggle is controlled by Settings -> Chats -> Regenerate on Save.
Editing an Assistant Message
Assistant messages can also be edited. Open the editor the same way - hover to see the action row, then click the edit icon.
Editing an assistant message and saving without regeneration replaces the stored content with whatever you typed. This is useful if you want to clean up or annotate the response for your own reference.
If you save with regeneration, AgentOne discards the assistant message and asks the model for a new one.
Canceling
Click Cancel at any point in the editor to discard your changes. The original message is preserved unchanged.
