8989### Messages sent mid-turn not checkpointed
9090
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. 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).
91In the rewind menu, a message you [typed while Claude was still working](/docs/en/interactive-mode#queue-messages-while-claude-works) can be marked **No code restore**. Claude read that message before its turn ended. [Checkpoints are taken for prompts that start a turn](#how-checkpoints-work), so this message has none of its own. The edits Claude made after reading it count toward the prompt that started the turn.

93To undo the edits Claude made after such a message, rewind to the prompt that started the turn. That rewinds the whole turn, including the work Claude did before your message arrived.
93You don't need to do anything about the message itself. To undo the file changes from that part of the session, select the prompt that started the turn and choose **Restore code** or **Restore code and conversation**. That reverts Claude's file edits from the whole turn, including the ones from before your message arrived. Selecting the marked message still offers **Restore conversation**, which rewinds the conversation to it and leaves your files as they are.
