Memory and Personalisation
Learn to understand and manage remembered context and keep personalisation under your control in this beginner-friendly ChatGPT lesson.
Before you begin
Review what information is suitable to save, remember or share. Use project-only information for work that needs clear context boundaries.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open ChatGPT Settings or a new Project and confirm you are using the intended account or workspace.
- Review Memory settings and decide what should not be remembered.
- 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 keep personalisation under your control.
- 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.
