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 dialog and switch to the Library tab (called Prompts before v18/19.20.184).

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 when appending terminology, and is auto-selected in the Batch Translate dropdown. The active prompt is saved per project.
Memory banks
Below the prompt folders, under SuperMemory, the Library lists your memory banks and the files in each, with _shared marked (loaded with every bank). Select a file to read it and Edit to change it; right-click a bank to make it active, rename it, delete it or open its folder. See SuperMemory – Seeing, renaming and deleting.
