The prompt box and its controls sit at the bottom right of the board. You only see the settings the active model has.

## The prompt box

Click **Enter prompt...** and type. `Enter` adds a new line. To run, click **Generate** (the sparkle button with the price) or press `⌘ + Enter`.

* Drag the top-left corner to resize the box; double-click it to reset.
* **Clear prompt** empties the box.
* A character counter appears near the model's limit. If a prompt is too long or too short, **Generate** tells you and doesn't start.

Some workflows lock the prompt (**Prompt locked for this workflow**) or don't need one (**No prompt required**). Fill the labelled slots and generate.

There is no negative prompt field.

## Prompt History

Click the clock button (**Prompt History & Library**) under the prompt box, or press `Control + H` (Windows: `Ctrl + H`). The window has a search box and three tabs:

* **Library**: ready-made templates by category.
* **Recent**: prompts you've generated with, and the model used.
* **Saved**: prompts you saved.

Click **Use this prompt** to put it in the prompt box, or **Copy to clipboard**. On **Recent**, **Save to library** keeps a prompt. On **Saved**, you can also **Edit prompt**, **Add to favorites** and **Delete prompt**.

## Model options

The row under the prompt shows the active model's options, such as **Aspect**, **Resolution**, **Duration**, **Mode**, **Seed**, **Style**, **Voice** or **Steps**. Open a control and choose a value.

* Values are remembered per model.
* The price on **Generate** updates as you change options.
* Some image models have an **Images** control (1 to 4). Each image is charged. To run one setup over several items, see Shift batching in [Generate](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/generate.md#batch-one-setup-over-many-images).
* Some image models also have **Quality**, **Background** and **Format**. Higher quality costs more. **Transparent** background needs PNG or WebP, so **JPEG** is hidden while it's on.
* Some audio models show simple fields under the prompt instead, such as duration, voice, language or lyrics.

### Less common options

A few models have options of their own:

* **Creativity**, for example on **Topaz Starlight**: how much generative detail the model adds, **Low**, **Middle** or **High**.
* **Prompt Expansion**, for example on **MiniMax H3 Max Turbo**: **Disabled** uses your prompt unchanged. **Balanced** and **Quality** let the model expand your prompt automatically.
* **Prompt Influence**, on **ElevenLabs Sound Effects v2**: a slider from 0 to 1 for how closely the sound follows your description.
* **Loop**, on **ElevenLabs Sound Effects v2**: makes the sound loop seamlessly.

### Audio on video models

Video models that can make sound show an **Audio** toggle with a speaker icon (hover it for "Audio: on" or "Audio: off"). It can change the price.

### Auto-Upscale

For image models only. Click **Toggle Auto-Upscale** (the chevrons), then **Select Upscale Model** to pick the upscaler and **2x** or **4x**. The menu shows each upscaler's price. When the image finishes, it's upscaled and gets a green badge with the scale.

The upscale is a separate paid run, but its estimate is included in the price on **Generate** while Auto-Upscale is on. Hover the price to see the base run, upscale steps and total. If the upscale fails, you keep the original image. Auto-Upscale turns off when you change model.

### Frame interpolation

On models that support it, click **Enable Frame Interpolation** and pick a rate such as 2x or 4x. It adds frames for smoother motion but doesn't raise resolution. The same control is in the **Form** tab in [Model Details](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/model-details.md).
