Jump-in replay with saved games?

I joined chess.com recently and have been exploring the site's features and playing against the bots.  After saving a completed game, I'd like to be able to go to a point in the game where I made a blunder and make a different move and see how the next 5-10 moves would develop if I didn't make the blunder.

During game review, it only lets me jump in and make one alternate move, not allowing me and the bot to resume with another series of moves after that.

Is that feature available on chess.com?  If yes how do I access it, and does it require a paid tier of service?

If that feature isn't available, is it possible to set up a board with pieces in any legal position you want, and then play that board against a bot?  Although tedious, at least that would allow me to manually set up a board using a position from a saved game so I could replay the remaining portion of the game with different choices.

There's an option in the Analysis tab, to Practice vs Computer.

Thanks! It worked, but when I restarted in the middle of the game, the bot became "Maximum (3200)" instead of the 1200-rated bot I was originally playing against in that game.

Is it possible to change the bot? Or am I stuck with the 3200 super-bot in this practice mode?

There should be a Change Bot option.
