How to Create Task Branches from Existing Answers?
Keep a common starting point and explore different subsequent directions separately.
When Is Branching More Appropriate
When the same analysis result leads to two different paths, for example, one researching causes and the other organizing repair suggestions, branching can be considered. After splitting, each task has its own follow-up discussion, making comparison and organization easier. Branching is suitable for preserving a common starting point; if two issues are unrelated from the start, creating new tasks directly is clearer.
Open a Branch from an Assistant Message
Find the assistant message you want to use as the starting point, and select "Branch in New Task" from its available actions. The entry may be affected by the message status; after creation, first check the existing content in the new task, then send the new direction you want to explore. The task title may indicate which original task it came from.
- Locate the assistant answer corresponding to the common starting point.
- Click "Branch in New Task."
- Review the branch content and add new goals and constraints.
Avoid Mixing Two Branches
Renaming branches can help distinguish their purposes, for example, "Cause Verification" and "Report Organization." When comparing results, pay attention to which different conditions each branch added later; do not just combine the two conclusions. Branches do not represent automatic merging of results, nor will they confirm which path is correct for you; you should still return to evidence verification. Which conclusion to adopt from the two paths should record their respective bases and applicable conditions.
