Blocked buttons and tabs

SymptomCauseFix
Clicking the Evaluation, Metrics, or Simulation tab does nothingThe 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 generatingRun the prompt to completion in the Playground without further edits, then open the tab; editing again re-locks it
Commit is disabledThe 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 itRun 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 threeDeselect one of the checked versions, then check the one you want to compare
