I previously submitted a feature request for the ability to stop Co-Pilot while it is processing a response. I would like to follow that up with a closely related request that complements it and creates a much more efficient workflow.

THE REQUEST:

Add the ability to edit and regenerate the most recent prompt after it has been submitted.

It is common to realize after pressing Enter that a prompt was incomplete, contained incorrect information, was worded poorly, or did not ask what was intended. Other times, the response finishes before the mistake is noticed.

In either case, the current workaround is to submit another prompt explaining the correction or start a new conversation. Instead, the user should be able to edit the most recent prompt and resubmit it.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

It should immediately cancel the current response, discard any work being performed on the original prompt, and begin processing the edited prompt instead.

Editing and resubmitting the prompt should disregard the previous response entirely and generate a brand-new response based only on the edited prompt.

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION:

In both cases, the edited prompt should replace the original prompt as though it had been submitted correctly the first time.

The original response should not remain part of the conversation or influence the new response.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

This feature would save time, reduce unnecessary processing and token usage, prevent correction-only follow-up prompts, keep conversation threads cleaner, and create a more forgiving workflow when prompts need to be corrected or refined.

FINAL NOTE:

This would be a natural companion to the Stop Processing feature request. Together, they would allow users to quickly recover from prompt mistakes without cluttering the conversation or wasting time.
