Prompt management is a crucial aspect of maintaining a dynamic and effective PromptEngine. Proper prompt management ensures that your prompts are not only well-organized but also optimized for performance and ease of use. This guide will walk you through the essential tasks involved in creating, editing, organizing, and managing the lifecycle of prompts.

Creating Prompts

Creating well-designed prompts is the foundation of engaging user interactions. Follow these steps to create a prompt effectively:

Enter the necessary details for your prompt such as title, description, and initial content. Ensure that the title is descriptive and gives a clear idea of what the prompt is about.

Step 3: Set Initial Status

Select an initial status for your prompt—typically 'Draft'—to indicate that the prompt is still under development and not yet ready for public visibility.

Step 4: Save the Prompt

After entering all the details, click the "Save" button to store your new prompt. You can always come back to edit or refine the prompt later.

Always review your prompt for clarity and conciseness before saving it. A well-crafted prompt leads to better user engagement.

Organizing with Categories and Tags

Effective organization of prompts helps in easy navigation and better manageability. Use categories and tags to organize your prompts:

Step 2: Add Tags

Tags are useful for detailed organization. Add tags that describe specific aspects of your prompts, such as the intended audience, tone, or specific events.
