# Manage prompts

> Reuse an existing prompt as the starting point for a new one, and save the filters, columns, and display settings your team works from.

Once you have prompts in a project, duplicate one to start a new variant without rebuilding it, and tailor the **Prompts** page to the way your team works.

## Duplicate prompts

To reuse a prompt's messages, model configuration, and output schema as the starting point for a new prompt, duplicate it instead of rebuilding it. Open the prompt and click <Icon icon="copy" /> **Duplicate** in the page header. The copy is named `<original name> (copy)` and is independent of the original, so later changes to either one don't affect the other.

Members of the [**Owners**](/docs/admin/access-control#built-in-permission-groups) permission group can duplicate prompts by default. To let anyone else duplicate prompts, grant both the `update` and `create` permissions for prompts in **<Icon icon="settings-2" /> Settings** > [**<Icon icon="shield-check" /> Permission groups**](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/~/configuration/org/groups). If either permission is missing, the control doesn't appear.

Scorers can be duplicated the same way, from the scorer detail page or from the scorer editor dialog.

<Note>
  Duplication is available from an individual prompt or scorer, not from the **Prompts** or **Scorers** table. To copy a prompt into a different project, use the SDK. See [Copy prompts, scorers, and datasets across projects](/docs/kb/copy-prompts-scorers-and-datasets-across-projects).
</Note>

## Customize the Prompts page

Save custom table views on the **Prompts** page to keep your preferred filters, column order, and display settings, and set a default view for your team.

### Create custom table views

To create or update a custom table view:

1. Apply the filters and display settings you want.
2. Open the <Icon icon="layers-2" /> menu and select **Save view\...** or **Save view as...**.

<Note>
  Custom table views are visible to all project members. Creating or editing a table view requires the **Update** project permission.
</Note>

### Set default table views

Set a default view so anyone opening the **Prompts** page starts from the same filters, column order, and display settings.

You can set default views at three levels:

* **Organization default**: Visible to all members when they open the page. This applies per page. For example, you can set separate organization defaults for Logs, Experiments, and Review. To set an organization default, you need the **Manage settings** organization permission (included by default in the **Owner** role). See [Access control](/docs/admin/access-control) for details.
* **Project default**: Overrides the organization default for everyone viewing this project. To set a project default, you need the project-level **Update** permission. Project admins can set project defaults even without organization-level permissions. See [Access control](/docs/admin/access-control) for details.
* **Personal default**: Overrides the project and organization defaults for you only. Personal defaults are stored in your browser, so they do not carry over across devices or browsers.

To set a default view:

1. Switch to the view you want by selecting it from the <Icon icon="layers-2" /> menu.
2. Open the menu again and hover over the currently selected view to reveal its submenu.
3. Choose <Icon icon="flag-triangle-right" /> **Set as personal default view**, <Icon icon="bookmark" /> **Set as project default view**, or <Icon icon="pin" /> **Set as organization default view**.

To clear a default view:

1. Open the <Icon icon="layers-2" /> menu and hover over the currently selected view to reveal its submenu.
2. Choose <Icon icon="flag-triangle-right" /> **Clear personal default view**, <Icon icon="bookmark" /> **Clear project default view**, or <Icon icon="pin" /> **Clear organization default view**.

Default view settings are mutually exclusive on a given view. Setting one type of default on a view automatically clears any other default that was previously set on the same view.

When a user opens a page, Braintrust loads the first match in this order: personal default, project default, organization default, then the standard "All ..." view (for example, "All logs view").

## Next steps

* [Create prompts](/docs/evaluate/prompts/create) in the UI or SDK.
* [Version prompts](/docs/evaluate/prompts/versions) to compare, restore, and pin versions.
* [Copy prompts, scorers, and datasets across projects](/docs/kb/copy-prompts-scorers-and-datasets-across-projects) with the SDK.
