The input pill at the bottom of your screen is where every conversation happens. It hosts four interaction surfaces: | Surface | Where it lives | What it does | | -------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Text input | Centre of the pill | Type a question or instruction | | **\[+]** action menu | Left edge of the pill | New Conversation, Files, Assistants, Search, Knowledge, Settings, Audio, More | | **Convo** button | Right of the pill | Toggle hands-free speech-to-speech voice mode | | **πŸŽ™ Mic** button | Next to Convo | Open the dictation recorder (transcribe a message into the textarea) | A **Submit** button replaces Convo on the right whenever the textarea has content; press Enter or click it to send. *** ## Typing prompts The Pria text input pill containing a two-line prompt, with the [+] action menu button on the left and the round Submit (send) button on the right. Click into the textarea and write your prompt. The pill auto-grows from a single line into a multi-line editor as you type. ```text Prompt icon=comment wrap theme={null} Summarise the attached vendor agreements and highlight any renewal-fee surprises. ``` Press Enter to send, or Shift + Enter to add a newline without sending. The Convo button is hidden while the textarea has content; a green **Submit** button takes its place. Pria streams the answer token-by-token. You can keep typing your next prompt while the current one streams β€” they'll queue. **Be specific.** Pria responds better to focused questions ("Compare clauses 4.2 and 7.1 of the attached MSA") than to vague ones ("Tell me about this"). When you don't get what you want, refine the prompt rather than starting fresh β€” Pria has the recent conversation in context. ### Keyboard navigation through prompt history The input pill remembers everything you've sent in the active conversation. When the textarea is **empty**, you can scroll back through your previous prompts without leaving the keyboard: | Key | What happens | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ↑ Up | Load the previous prompt into the textarea. Repeat to walk further back. | | ↓ Down | Walk forward toward the most recent prompt. Past the newest, the textarea returns to your **draft**. | | Esc | Cancel history navigation and restore your draft. | **Drafts are preserved.** If you'd started typing a new prompt and then pressed ↑ to look at an older one, your in-progress draft is held aside. Walking forward past the newest history entry (or pressing Esc) drops you back into the draft exactly where you left it β€” nothing typed is ever lost. History navigation only activates when the cursor is at the very start or end of the textarea, so multi-line editing with arrow keys still works as expected inside a prompt. ### Re-asking and editing the last question Two quick ways to retry a turn without re-typing: * **Edit and resend the last prompt** β€” press ↑ once on an empty textarea. Your most recent message reloads; tweak the wording and press Enter to send the new version. This creates a fresh turn β€” the original stays in history. * **Regenerate from the same prompt** β€” hover the last response and use **Copy input β†’ paste β†’ send** if you want to retry verbatim, or open the dialogue's action row and use **Delete dialogue** first if you want the old answer out of context before re-asking. Editing the prompt and resending is usually better than asking "no, try again" β€” Pria sees both the new prompt and the unhelpful previous answer in context, and tends to overcorrect rather than start clean. ### Pasting images and drag-dropping files The input pill accepts files three ways without ever opening the **\[+]** menu: * **Drag and drop** β€” drag one or more files from your desktop onto the input pill (or anywhere over the conversation surface). A blue overlay highlights the drop zone; release to start the upload. * **Paste from clipboard** β€” copy an image (screenshot, browser image, etc.) and press Ctrl/⌘ + V with the textarea focused. Images paste as attachments; text pastes inline. * **Browser file picker** β€” open **\[+] β†’ Add Photos & Files** to browse your vault, or tap the row's right-edge **+** to jump straight to your computer's file picker. The Pria drag-and-drop overlay: a dashed blue border around the conversation with a download icon and the prompt 'Drop files to upload into your Vault'. However you add them, files open the **Add to your personal IP Vault** uploader β€” with **Files / URL / Clipboard** tabs, a per-file **Skip Indexing** toggle (skip RAG indexing for a file you only want as one-off context), and an **Upload** button. Uploaded files attach to the **next turn** and also land in your IP Vault (My Files) for re-use. The Add to your personal IP Vault uploader widget showing Files / URL / Clipboard tabs, a queued file with its size and a Skip Indexing checkbox, and a green Upload button with size limits below. Multi-modal models can reason directly over pasted images β€” paste a screenshot of an error message, a chart, or a whiteboard photo and ask Pria what's in it. ### Quoting a prior message To reference an earlier message in your follow-up without retyping it: 1. Hover the message you want to quote and use **Copy input** or **Copy output** from the dialogue action row. 2. Paste into the textarea β€” Pria's markdown preview renders the quoted block as you type. 3. Add your follow-up question beneath the quoted block and send. Even without explicit quoting, Pria has the most recent dialogues in context (see [Remember History](/mdx/user-guide/profile-settings/edit-profile#remember-history--compaction)) β€” so references like *"the second bullet you mentioned above"* generally resolve fine for nearby turns. ### Which model answers The model that answers is the **default set for the Digital Twin by an admin** in **Instance Settings β†’ Conversation**. **Personal accounts use the Twin's default model and can't change it.** If you need a different model, ask the Twin's admin. Admins: see [Model Selection](/mdx/user-guide/interface/model-selection) for choosing the model, BYOK options, and per-model capability flags. ### Markdown formatting in responses Pria streams answers as Markdown. The renderer supports: * **Headings, bold, italic, lists, blockquotes** β€” standard CommonMark. * **Code blocks with syntax highlighting** β€” triple-backtick fences with a language tag (` ```python `, ` ```ts `, etc.). Each block carries a Copy button. * **Tables** β€” pipe syntax renders as a clean grid. Long tables scroll horizontally inside the response. * **Inline links** β€” clickable, open in a new tab. * **Math** β€” inline `$E = mc^2$` and block `$$ … $$` render via LaTeX-style markup when the active model emits it. * **Mermaid diagrams** β€” flowcharts, sequence diagrams, gantt, etc. inside ` ```mermaid ` fences render as SVG. * **Citations** β€” clickable chips after sentences that reference your IP Vault content. A Pria response rendered as a numbered list with the key phrase of each item shown in bold. Code blocks remember language across turns β€” Pria tends to keep replying in the same code style you've been working in. *** ## The **\[+]** action menu Click the **\[+]** icon on the left of the pill to open a structured menu of everything you can attach to or change about the next turn. Each entry that has more options expands **inline** when you click it β€” its choices appear indented just below the row, rather than flying out to the side.
