Both the Bot Emulator and the Azure Portal Web Chat's contain a sort of restart button that clears the conversation history and generates a new conversation ID. This is accomplished by refreshing Web Chat.

Direct Line generates a new conversation ID every time the secret is exchanged for a token. If you are passing a Direct Line secret to Web Chat directly and letting Web Chat exchange it for a token, then all you must do to generate a new conversation ID is refresh the page or frame.

If you are storing the secret somewhere private (recommended) and exchanging it for a token yourself and passing the token to Web Chat, then just do that again to generate a new conversation ID.
