Learn to use a shared workspace for drafting and revision where available and review changes in context in this beginner-friendly ChatGPT lesson.
Before you begin
Use original or licensed source material and avoid requests that misuse another person's identity, private information or protected work.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open the relevant ChatGPT image, voice or Canvas tool where available and confirm you are using the intended account or workspace.
- Open sample text in Canvas and request one focused edit.
- 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 review changes in context.
- 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.
