Prompts

Prompts is your tracked-prompt portfolio: every question MentionFlow watches, with per-row window metrics, bulk CSV import, topic folders, and tags and stages for organising them.

What it does

The prompts screen turns a list of natural-language questions into a working portfolio. Each row carries the standard window metrics for that prompt, and the whole set can be filtered, tagged, foldered into topics, and imported in bulk. A per-prompt detail view opens the full history behind any row.

How to use it

• Filter and sort. /prompts filters by stage, category, intent, tag, and topic — all URL params, all combinable — and sorts via the URL, so any view is a shareable link.
• Add prompts. Inline add (minimum 8 characters) lives in the #manage panel. The header "Add prompts" button routes to /onboarding for the guided flow.
• Manage a row. The row menu sets tags, topic, persona, language, and a per-prompt location, plus pause / resume / archive. Archived prompts live at ?status=archived.
• Open a prompt. The detail page shows a headline metric, a per-engine sentiment strip, a fan-out card, answer tabs, and run diffs that show how an answer changed between collections.
• Import a CSV. Up to 2 MB and 500 rows, delimiter auto-detected, with a downloadable template. The preview shows ready / duplicate / invalid counts, a quota line, and the first 50 rows. Confirming is what writes them.
• Work in bulk. Select many prompts to tag, re-topic, relocate, pause, archive, or restore them in one click, and use the search box and multi-tag filters to narrow the set first — see Batch actions and search.

Archive and restore

Your prompt quota is pooled per workspace, and active and paused prompts both hold a slot — only archiving frees one. Archiving stops collection but keeps all of a prompt's history, so it is the safe way to make room.

Reclaim a slot:

1. On /prompts, open the row menu of a prompt you no longer need and choose Archive (or select several and archive them together). The slot is freed immediately.
2. Add your new prompt as usual — the freed slot is now available.

Bring an archived prompt back:

1. Switch to the archived view at ?status=archived.
2. Select the prompt (or several) and choose Restore. Restoring is not free — restored prompts hold plan slots again, so the batch is re-checked against your quota first.
3. You can also re-import an archived prompt from a CSV; archived prompts are re-importable.

Pausing, by contrast, keeps the slot: a paused prompt still counts against your quota, so you can resume it instantly. See Plans and quotas.

How it's computed

Row metrics use the standard core math over your selected window: visibility, sentiment (an em-dash means no scored brand mention yet, not neutral), and deltas computed on unrounded values so a rounded display can't invent a change.

CSV import is built to be safe and repeatable:

• Dedup identity is trim + collapse-whitespace + lowercase, shared byte-for-byte with the suggestion queue and with topic keys — so the same text is the same prompt everywhere.
• Dedup checks active and paused prompts only; archived prompts are re-importable.
• Topics are resolve-only — an import matches an existing topic but never creates one.
• The import is all-or-nothing against your quota and re-checks the quota inside a locked transaction, so a concurrent import can't overshoot your limit.

Topic folders hold up to 50 per brand, with names up to 60 characters. Deleting a folder moves its prompts to "No topic" and keeps their history intact.

Limits

• Prompts are pooled per workspace; archiving frees a slot (pausing does not) — see Plans and quotas.
• Import is blocked in demo mode and requires editor rights.
