# Active Prompt

Each Trados project can have an **active prompt** -- the prompt that Quick Add appends terminology to. This is also the prompt that is auto-selected in the [Batch Translate](/help/features/batch-operations/batch-translate.md) dropdown when you open the project.

### Setting the active prompt

1. Open **Settings → Prompts**
2. Right-click any prompt in the tree
3. Choose **Set as active prompt for this project**

The active prompt is shown with a pin icon and bold blue text in the Prompt Manager, and a checkmark appears next to its name in the Batch Translate dropdown. The Batch Translate dropdown updates **live** – you do not have to close the Settings dialog for the change to take effect. Cancelling the dialog reverts the change; clicking OK persists it.

To clear the active prompt, right-click it again and choose the same menu item (it toggles).

:::note The active prompt works for any prompt regardless of folder or category. Even if a prompt's `Category` is not `Translate` (for example, a prompt at the root of the tree with no category set), it will still appear and be pre-selected in the Batch Translate dropdown once you mark it as active. :::

:::note The active prompt is saved [per project](/help/settings/project-settings.md). Different Trados projects can have different active prompts. :::
