Cline allows you to edit chat messages in a task after they've been submitted. This feature lets you refine your requests without starting a new task, helping you get better results with minimal disruption to your workflow.
|
|
|
|
## When to Edit Messages
|
|
|
|
You might want to edit a message when:
|
|
|
|
- You didn't get the results you wanted
|
|
- You thought of a better way to phrase your request
|
|
- You need to add more information or context
|
|
- You made a typo or error in your original message
|
|
|
|
## How to Edit Messages
|
|
|
|
1. Click on any message in the conversation (except the initial task message)
|
|
2. Edit the text as needed
|
|
3. Use the restore options to resubmit your request

## Restore Options
|
|
|
|
When you edit a message, you have two options for restoring:
|
|
|
|
### Restore Chat
|
|
|
|
The "Restore Chat" option:
|
|
|
|
- Restores just the task state
|
|
- Re-submits an API request with your edited message
|
|
- Preserves all file changes made up to that point
|
|
- Is useful when you want to keep the current state of your workspace
|
|
|
|
### Restore All
|
|
|
|
The "Restore All" option:
|
|
|
|
- Restores both the task state and workspace state
|
|
- Re-submits an API request with your edited message
|
|
- Reverts your workspace to how it was at that point in the conversation
|
|
- Uses [checkpoints](/features/checkpoints) under the hood to restore your workspace
|
|
- Is useful when you want to try a completely different approach
|
|
|
|
## Keyboard Shortcuts
|
|
|
|
When editing a message, you can use these keyboard shortcuts:
|
|
|
|
- **Escape**: Exit edit mode without making changes
|
|
- **Enter**: Restore just the task (equivalent to "Restore Chat")
|
|
- **Cmd/Ctrl + Enter**: Restore the task and workspace (equivalent to "Restore All")
|
|
- **Shift + Enter**: Insert a new line / line break in your message
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
- Use message editing for minor adjustments to your requests
|
|
- For major changes in direction, consider starting a new task
|
|
- When using "Restore All," be aware that any file changes made after that message will be reverted
|
|
- Edit messages closer to the beginning of a conversation to avoid losing significant progress
