AI Editor: How Scoped Prompt Editing Works

What this means

Scoped editing means AI looks at only the part you picked, not the whole page. This helps stop surprise changes in other places.

Before you start

  • Open AI Editor and wait for the preview to finish loading.
  • Decide exactly which page part you want to change.
  • Click that page part first before typing your prompt.

Quick check

  • The prompt box stays locked until you click something in preview.
  • The selected part lights up in preview.
  • AI changes only the selected part, not the whole page.

Step-by-step

  1. Open AI Editor for your site.
  2. Click the exact part in preview that you want to change.
  3. Watch for the blue highlight so you know the right part was chosen.
  4. Type a prompt about that one part only.
  5. Wait while AI sends back new code for that selected part.
  6. Check the preview carefully.
  7. Save only when the result looks right.

Easy examples

Good prompt

Make this hero headline tighter, reduce empty space above the image, and improve mobile spacing for this section only.

Bad prompt

Redo the full website and make everything more premium. This is too broad for scoped editing.
