# Prompts

Prompts tell the AI how to behave. The Prompt Manager lets you browse built-in domain prompts, create your own, and mark prompts as QuickLauncher shortcuts.

**Accessing the Prompt Manager**

Open the plugin **Settings** dialogueue and switch to the **Prompts** tab.

**Active prompt**

Right-click any translation prompt in the tree and choose **Set as active prompt for this project** to designate it as the active prompt. The active prompt is shown with a pin icon and bold blue text. It is used by [memory bank Quick Add](/help/features/ai-assistant/super-memory/quick-add.md) when appending terminology, and is auto-selected in the [Batch Translate](/help/features/batch-operations/batch-translate.md) dropdown. The active prompt is saved [per project](/help/settings/project-settings.md).
