Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web, desktop or mobile device available to you and confirm you are using the intended account or workspace.

  3. Pause and check privacy, permissions, source material, feature availability and any instruction that affects the task.
  4. Review the result carefully and confirm that you can continue work using the correct account.
  5. Save only the useful, verified output and record one improvement for your next prompt.
