Prompt FAQ & fixes
Symptoms, causes, and fixes for the errors you hit in Prompt
In this page
The blocked states and errors you actually run into in Prompt, with the cause and the fix for each. Find your symptom in the tables below: Blocked buttons and tabs, Error messages, or Permissions, plan, and credits. Output that’s wrong, inconsistent, or off-tone is a prompt-engineering problem, not a bug: see Prompt Engineering. Not seeing your symptom? Contact us and we’ll help you track it down.
Blocked buttons and tabs
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Clicking the Evaluation, Metrics, or Simulation tab does nothing | The tab needs a run version with content and no unsaved edit: there’s no version yet, the selected version is an unsaved draft, the prompt content is empty, or a run is still generating | Run the prompt to completion in the Playground without further edits, then open the tab; editing again re-locks it |
| Commit is disabled | The prompt hasn’t been run yet, more than one version is selected, or you’re on the Evaluation or Metrics tab; that last case has no tooltip explaining it | Run the prompt if it hasn’t been run, select a single version if more than one is checked, or switch back to the Playground tab, then open Commit |
| Checking a fourth version to compare is disabled, with a tooltip reading “Compare limit is upto 3 version only, Deselect other options to select this one” | Three versions are already selected; comparison is capped at three | Deselect one of the checked versions, then check the one you want to compare |
Error messages
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| You press Run and get “A template with this name already exists.” (renaming into a taken name triggers the same check) | Another template in your organization already has that name | Pick a name that’s unique in your organization |
| ”Name cannot be empty” | You tried to save a rename with the name field blank | Type a name before saving |
| ”You must have at least one prompt.” | You tried to remove the only message left in the editor | Add a replacement message before deleting the last one |
| ”Audio input is missing. Please add audio before running the prompt.” | You ran an audio-capable model without attaching audio content | Attach audio to the prompt, then run it |
