Build a Sequence from the Main Page

Build a sequence from the main page

A sequence chains saved prompts into an ordered, repeatable workflow: research, then outline, then draft, then refine, saved once and run whenever the work repeats. Sequences are built and managed on the main extension page only, in the Sequences view, and each step references a prompt from your library rather than copying it. This page covers building a sequence step by step, and editing, duplicating, and deleting it afterwards. Running one lives in insert a sequence from the sidebar.

Prerequisites:

• Signed in: Sequences live in your library and require a signed-in account. See sign in to the extension.
• Saved prompts: Steps are drawn from your prompt library, so the prompts come first. See save a prompt from the main page.
• Know the surfaces: This page assumes the pop-up and the main extension page from the interface.

Open the Sequences view#

1. Click the pinned Cognardo Workbench icon to open the pop-up.
2. Click the prompts icon in the navigation grid. The main extension page opens on the Prompts & Sequences tab.
3. Switch to the Sequences view at the top of the tab.

Build the sequence#

1. Click Add Sequence. The Add New Sequence modal opens, with Cancel and Save Sequence at the bottom.
2. Name the workflow in the TITLE field.
3. Optional: describe it in the DESCRIPTION field. The description shows on the sequence's row in the library, so one line on what the workflow produces earns its keep.
Add the steps:
1. Click Add Step. The prompt picker opens with a Search prompts… field and your library beneath it.
2. Click a prompt and it lands as the next step. Repeat for each step in the workflow.
3. Each step row shows its number, the prompt's title, a preview chevron for the full content, and a remove control.
4. Reorder the steps by their drag handle. The tooltip reads Drag to reorder, and the numbering updates as you drop.
5. Add tags in the TAGS field. Sequences share the prompt tag library, chips and all. See manage tags.
6. Click Save Sequence. The modal closes, a confirmation reads Sequence saved, and the sequence appears at the top of the list on an orange PENDING badge, switching to green SYNCED when the upload finishes.

Steps stay linked to their prompts#

A step is a reference, not a copy. Edit a prompt in your library and every sequence that carries it uses the edited version from then on, with nothing to update inside the builder. The same goes for variables: a step whose prompt carries {{variable}} placeholders asks for its values when the sequence runs, one Fill Prompt Variables pass per step that needs it. Variable syntax lives in save a prompt from the sidebar, and the run-time fills in insert a sequence from the sidebar.

Edit, duplicate, or delete a sequence#

• Edit: Click Edit Sequence (the pencil) on the row. The builder opens with everything filled in: change the title, the steps, the order, or the tags, then click Update Sequence. The row returns to PENDING while the change syncs.
• Duplicate: Click Duplicate Sequence on the row. The builder opens pre-filled as a new sequence, ready for a variant: adjust the title and any steps, then save.
• Delete: Click Delete Sequence on the row. The sequence is removed; the prompts its steps referenced stay untouched in your library.
