Prompt Publications
DIAL users can publish their private prompts to enable access to other users. Each publication request undergoes a review by DIAL administrators to ensure safety and security.
You can access published prompts in Assets/Prompts section.
In this section of the DIAL Admin panel, admins can access and approve or decline requests to publish prompts.
