# Manage Prompts
> Create, edit, tag, and delete prompts from the Prompt Hub list and detail pages
The **Prompt Hub** list page (`/prompt-hub`) is where every prompt in your project lives. The header has a **Learn more** button that links back to these docs, and a **Create new** button that appears once your database connection is healthy.
If you haven't created a prompt yet, you'll see a "Get Started with Prompt Hub" screen highlighting four things Prompt Hub gives you: Version Control, Variable Support, Team Collaboration, and Usage Tracking.
## The prompt list
Each row in the table shows:
| Column | What it shows |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name | The prompt's name |
| Created By | Who created the prompt |
| Latest Version | The newest version number, or `draft` (lowercase) if nothing's been published yet |
| Downloads | Total fetch count, or `-` if the prompt hasn't been published |
| Last Released On | The date the latest version was published, or `-` if unpublished |
| Actions | A sliders icon to create and link a [rule](/latest/openlit/prompts-experiments/prompt-hub/rules) for this prompt, and a trash icon to delete it |
Clicking anywhere else on a row opens that prompt's detail page. Deleting a prompt asks you to confirm: "Are you sure you want to delete this prompt?"
## Creating a prompt
Click **Create new** to open the create page (`/prompt-hub/new`). The header has **Back** and **Save Prompt** buttons.
* **Name** - required. As you type, the input is automatically lowercased, spaces become underscores, and any character outside `a-z` and `_` is stripped, matching the hint "(lowercase letters and \_ only)". The name can't be changed once the prompt is created.
* **Prompt content editor** - has a hint to "Use `{{variableName}}` for dynamic variables", an inline "Improve prompt with Otter" assistant bar above it (see [AI Prompt Improvement](/latest/openlit/prompts-experiments/prompt-hub/ai-improvement)), and **Write** / **Preview** tabs below - Write is a plain text editor with line numbers, and Preview renders your content as Markdown (showing "Nothing to preview yet." if the editor is empty).
* **Version** - four cards: Draft, Major, Minor, or Patch. See [Versioning](/latest/openlit/prompts-experiments/prompt-hub/versioning) for what each one does.
* **Tags** - add free-form tag chips by pressing Enter or clicking the "+" button; remove them individually.
* **Meta Properties** - repeatable Key/Value rows for any metadata you want to attach; add rows with **Add property** and remove them individually.
Both Name and content are required - you'll see "Prompt name is required" or "Prompt content is required" if you try to save without them. Saving shows a "Creating prompt..." loading toast, then "Prompt created successfully!" or "Failed to create prompt". If the name is already taken, saving fails with "Prompt name is already taken!".
## Viewing a prompt
The detail page (`/prompt-hub/[id]`) shows the prompt's name (with a **Draft** badge if the version you're viewing is the draft), its version number, and "Published on {date}". Below that: tag badges, the read-only rendered prompt content, and a Meta Properties table if any were set.
The action button changes depending on what you're looking at:
* **Publish Version** - shown when you're viewing the draft, and takes you to the edit page to finish and publish it.
* **Create New Version** - shown when you're viewing the latest published version and there's no pending draft, and takes you to the edit page to start a new version from it.
On the right side of the detail page are two tabs: **Versions** (covered in [Versioning](/latest/openlit/prompts-experiments/prompt-hub/versioning)) and **Rules** (covered in [Rules](/latest/openlit/prompts-experiments/prompt-hub/rules)).
You can also open any past version directly by adding `?version=X` to the detail page URL.
## Editing a prompt
The edit page (`/prompt-hub/[id]/edit`) has the same layout as the create page, minus the Name field. It loads your current draft if one exists, or otherwise the latest published version as a starting point for a new one. The subheading tells you which mode you're in:
* "Editing draft - publish when ready" - you're modifying the existing draft.
* "Creating a new version from the latest published" - you're starting a new version on top of the latest published one.
The same Draft / Major / Minor / Patch version picker appears here too, except the Draft option reads "No version change" / "Keep as draft - not published" instead of the create page's wording. The Save button shows "Saving..." while in progress, then "Prompt saved!" on success or "Failed to save prompt." on failure.
