# Editing with prompts

> Write edit requests with a clear target, action, constraints, and expected result.

An effective editing prompt is narrow enough to review. Name what should change and what must remain unchanged.

## What you can edit with prompts

* Rewrite selected text.
* Improve the content of a slide.
* Redesign a selected section.
* Generate new slide content.
* Update charts, tables, and layouts.

## Use this pattern

```text theme={null}
Target: Slide 4, the risk summary.
Action: Shorten each risk description to one sentence.
Keep: Risk names, owners, dates, severity, and all figures.
Result: Three concise rows for an executive audience.
```

<Steps>
  <Step title="Name the target">
    Identify the slide, section, or selected element. Avoid `make the deck better` when only one area needs work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the change">
    Use a concrete action such as shorten, replace, add, remove, reorder, compare, or visualize.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Protect important content">
    Repeat exact values, labels, citations, and design choices that must survive the edit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Define the finished shape">
    State the expected structure, such as three bullets, a two-column comparison, one line chart, or a short conclusion.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review before the next request">
    Verify the saved result. Split unrelated changes into separate prompts so each result is easy to inspect.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The editing workflow is the same in Cloud and open-source Presenton: use **Edit selection** for one selected element and the AI Assistant for slide-level or presentation-level changes.
