Edit Previous Prompt

You can go back and edit any previous prompt. This helps you refine earlier instructions without starting over from the beginning.

When you edit an earlier prompt, Nova regenerates its response and removes all prompts and responses that came after it.

Editing an earlier prompt changes your project history from that point forward. Regenerating the conversation can replace later responses and remove work based on the earlier version of the prompt.

Before you regenerate, copy any critical content you want to keep.

Editing an earlier prompt

To edit an earlier prompt, open your project and review the prompt history in the chat panel. Each prompt includes a menu icon (⋮) with actions you can use to manage that prompt. You can choose from the following actions:

The menu options for prompts in the chat panel
Menu ActionWhat it does
EditRevises the selected prompt and regenerates the results from that point forward.
Hide from contextRemoves the selected prompt from Nova’s memory so it won’t influence future responses.
RestoreReverts all changes made since the selected prompt.
CopyCopies the prompt text so you can reuse it elsewhere.

After Nova regenerates the updated prompt history, you can continue refining the results with the prompt text box. If you want to make targeted changes to a specific element, use Edit Mode.

Troubleshooting unexpected changes

If regenerated content changes more of the project than you expected:

  • Review the earlier prompt you edited and confirm that you provided specific instructions.
  • Remember that editing a prompt regenerates Nova’s response and removes all prompts and responses after it.
  • Compare the regenerated result against any content you copied before regenerating.
  • Use Edit Mode to make smaller, targeted changes after regeneration.
