Everything you can do with prompts, versions, sharing, the wizard, API, and more.

🔹Creating & Managing Prompts

Q: How do I create a new prompt?
Use the New Prompt button. Enter a title (mandatory) and optionally add tags (comma-separated). Click Save.

Q: Can I edit an existing prompt?
Yes. Click on the Edit Prompt icon. You can change the title, text, or tags. Each edit automatically creates a new version.

Q: How do I delete a prompt?
Click Delete Prompt. You will be asked to confirm. Deletion is permanent.

🔹Insert one prompt into another

Q: Why is it useful to insert (join) another prompt?
This function is especially handy when you want to reuse the same content across multiple prompts. For example, you might keep a list of rules, roles, or terms in a dedicated prompt and then insert it into many others. That way, you edit the list once and the change is automatically reflected in all prompts that include it.

Q: How do I insert (join) another prompt?
Type this token anywhere in your prompt text: [[prompt_id=<ID_OF_THE_PROMPT_TO_INSERT>]]

Q: Where do I find the prompt ID?
Open the source prompt (the one you want to insert). Its ID is shown in the UI near the title (click once to copy it).

Q: What happens at runtime?
On save/render, the app expands each [[prompt_id=...]] token with the current content of that prompt.

Q: Can I chain inserts?
Yes—chained inserts are supported (a prompt is inserted in a prompt which is inserted in another prompt). Avoid loops (A inserts B while B inserts A).

Q: What if the referenced prompt is deleted or private?
Deleted: the token remains and no text is shown.

🔹Versions & Restore

Q: Does the app keep a history of my prompts?
Yes. Every time you save changes, a new version is created.

Q: Can I restore an older version?
Yes. Open Versions, choose the version, and click Restore. The current prompt will be replaced, but you can always restore again later.

🔹Tags & Organization

Q: How can I organize my prompts?
Prompts support tags. You can add, remove, or edit tags to group prompts.

Q: How do I find prompts quickly?
Use Sort by (last updated or alphabetically) and Filter by tags. You can clear filters anytime.

🔹Sharing Prompts

Q: Can I share a prompt with others?
Yes. Use the Share option. A unique link is generated. Anyone with the link can view the prompt.

Q: What happens if I edit a shared prompt?
The link remains valid, and viewers see the updated version.

Q: How do I stop sharing a prompt?
Uncheck the Share checkbox. The link becomes invalid.

Q: Can I share all my prompts together?
Yes. Choose All prompts to publish a page containing all shared prompts (tags help navigation if you have more than 6 prompts).

Q: Can I customize my sharing page?
Yes. Enter a custom message for your shared prompts page. Delete it to return to the default.

🔹Backup to my PC

Q: How do I back up my prompts?
Go to Local Backup and click Download. All prompts are saved in a text or Excel file (MyPrompts.txt or .xlsx) in your Downloads folder.

🔹Prompt Wizard

Q: What is the Prompt Wizard?
The Wizard helps you generate prompts automatically. Just describe in plain language what you want (e.g., “Plan a city trip”), and the wizard creates a ready-to-use prompt.

Q: Can I refine the wizard’s output?
Yes. You can copy it, test it with ChatGPT/Perplexity, and save it as a new prompt or update.

🔹API Access

Q: Does the app provide an API?
Yes. Developers can fetch shared prompts via the API.

Q: What do I need to use the API?
A unique API key, which you can request in the API settings page. Then simply follow instructions to use the GET function.

Q: Which prompts are available via API?
Only prompts activated for the API are returned by the API.

Q: What features does the API support?
- Fetch latest version of a prompt

🔹Account Management

Q: How do I change my username or password?
Go to Account Settings. Enter the new value and save.

Q: Can I delete my account?
Yes, under Delete account. This will permanently erase your account and all prompts. You must confirm with your password.
