How to view ChatGPT conversations as a tree map

When a ChatGPT conversation splits into branches, a tree map lets you see the full shape of the thread instead of guessing where each path went.

Quick answer

Open a ChatGPT conversation, click the tree map button in the bottom-right corner, then pan or zoom around the map. You can inspect messages and images, switch branches, create a new branch, submit a prompt from inside the map, and download the finished tree map as a PNG.

01

Open the tree map from the conversation

In ChatGPT, use the Superpower tree map button in the bottom-right corner of the conversation. The map opens a visual canvas for the current thread.

Read the conversation paths

The tree map shows the current path, alternate branches, and branch points in one view. This is useful when a conversation has multiple answer directions or regenerated responses.

Zoom, pan, and inspect messages

Use zoom controls, fit to view, or 1:1 when the map is large. Message cards can include conversation text and images, so you can inspect visual context without leaving the map.

Continue from the map

Submit a prompt from inside the tree map when you want to keep working from a visible node. You can create a new branch or switch the current branch to another path before continuing.

Download the map as a PNG

When you want to share or save the structure of the conversation, use the download control to export the tree map as a PNG image.

Tree map strategy

Use the map when the thread shape matters.

Use fit to view when the map gets wider than the visible canvas.
Zoom in before reading message text or checking conversation images.
Create a new branch when you want to explore a direction without losing the current path.
Switch the current branch when an alternate answer becomes the direction you want to continue.
Download a PNG when the structure of the conversation matters as much as the final answer.
