Panel View Button

Generate content for multiple fields at once from a dedicated prompt dialog, with field targeting and response streaming.

Lives in any Panel view (site, page, file, user) alongside the default preview and settings buttons. Open it from any toolbar – the dialog scopes to the current model's blueprint.

Setting Up the View Button

To add the copilot button to a Panel view, set the buttons option in the corresponding blueprint:

buttons:
  - copilot # Re-order the button as needed
  - preview
  - languages

This way, you can reference the default buttons and decide where to place the copilot button. It will look something like this:

Copilot Panel view button

Using the View Button

Clicking the button opens the Copilot prompt dialog. By default, no fields are selected – you need to select the fields you want to generate content for. This is especially useful for multi-field content generation.

Finally, enter your prompt and click the Generate button to start the content generation process.

See the Field Placeholders guide to learn how to reference other fields as context in your prompts.

Cancel Generation

To stop generation mid-stream:

  • Press Esc on your keyboard, or
  • Hover over the generate button and click the cancel icon.

Prompt History

Your prompts are saved in the browser's local storage (up to 50 entries per site). Navigate through history with the arrow keys when the prompt dialog is open.

See the Quick Reference for all keyboard shortcuts.

Button Configuration

For the full property reference (label, userPrompt, systemPrompt, icon, theme, logLevel) and configuration precedence, see View Button & Field Configuration.

System Prompt

Ships with a default that adapts to the target field, current selection, and attached files – override it globally or per blueprint.

Toolbar Buttons

Select text in writer or textarea fields and use AI to fix grammar, summarize, rewrite, or extend – right from the toolbar.
