91When a message you [queue while Claude works](/docs/en/interactive-mode#queue-messages-while-claude-works) reaches Claude within the running turn, it joins that turn instead of starting a new one. The message appears in the conversation, but Claude Code doesn't create a checkpoint for it, and the rewind menu doesn't list it. A queued message that Claude Code sends as part of a new turn gets a checkpoint as usual, including when several queued messages [share that turn](/docs/en/interactive-mode#when-claude-code-sends-what-you-queued).
