Forgot to mention something. That happens to everyone.

You do not need to type it all again. Just tell ChatGPT the new detail.

It will fold the detail in and fix the answer for you.

Try this
  1. Stay in the same chat.
  2. Type the detail you left out.
  3. Ask it to update the last answer with that detail.
A message you can copy

I forgot to mention [the new detail]. Please update your last answer to include that.

Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

Adding details later is normal. ChatGPT just rolls with it.
