# Update prompt text, attributes, or active flag

`PUT /prompts`

Editing prompt text after results exist requires an explicit choice. The first call returns 409 with `requiresConfirmation: true` (plus `tracked` and `inFlightRun` hints); resend with `confirmClone: true` to clone-and-supersede (the original is deactivated with its history intact — recommended for tracked prompts) or `confirmOverwrite: true` to edit in place (unavailable while a run is in flight).
