Getting Started
Accounts, Plans and Availability
Learn to recognise that features and limits vary by account, plan, region and workspace and avoid promising a feature that is unavailable in this beginner-friendly ChatGPT lesson.
Before you begin
Use the correct ChatGPT account or approved workspace. Do not enter passwords, recovery codes or private business information into practice chats.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open ChatGPT on the web, desktop or mobile device available to you and confirm you are using the intended account or workspace.
- Check your visible plan and tools without changing billing.
- Pause and check privacy, permissions, source material, feature availability and any instruction that affects the task.
- Review the result carefully and confirm that you can avoid promising a feature that is unavailable.
- Save only the useful, verified output and record one improvement for your next prompt.
Ian's practical tip: Start with fictional or non-sensitive information. Treat the first response as a draft, then verify facts, sources, calculations and permissions before using it.
