2. Prompts and conversations (35–40%)
Create effective prompts, choose references, save, schedule, and share. Manage history, deletion, names, and notebooks.
Choose Agent Store or custom creation, use templates, configure knowledge, instructions, capabilities, suggested prompts, and team sharing.
3. Business content (25–30%)
Create documents from prompts or existing documents, prepare management summaries, and move insights across apps.
