1.2.1 – New UI Updates Lesson

Lesson Overview

This lesson introduces you to the layout adjustments made to the workspace panel in the latest version of your private AI chatbot tool. While many of the features still function as before, their positions in the interface have shifted. Previously, you might have accessed certain features, like the playground, through the settings menu, but now these have moved for easier access. The workspace panel now contains separate sections for model files, prompts, documents, and the playground, making navigation cleaner and more consistent.

Understanding these changes is important to avoid confusion when following along with written or video instructions produced before the update. Everything covered in earlier content remains applicable; the updated placement simply streamlines the user’s experience. Anyone working on setting up or managing private chatbot projects will benefit from recognizing how these design tweaks support a more organized workplace and make routine actions, like accessing files or testing prompts, quicker and simpler.

Who This Is For

If you’re about to work with or currently use this private AI chatbot, this lesson will help you transition smoothly to the new layout:

• Product owners maintaining chatbot setups
• Educators managing learning resources
• Developers working on custom chatbot functions
• Team members organizing model files or prompt libraries
• Anyone following along with previous tutorials and navigating recent update

Where This Fits in a Workflow

Updating your knowledge of the workspace layout fits at the very start of any project, migration, or training session using the chatbot. For instance, before creating a new set of prompts or browsing model files, knowing their updated locations will save you time. When sharing tutorials internally or onboarding new users, being familiar with these changes lets you provide accurate, up-to-date guidance. If you revisit older materials, recognizing that the interface has shifted—but not the underlying functions—helps maintain workflow consistency.

Technical & Workflow Benefits

Previously, users had to remember which menu or panel to open for different features, and key items like the playground were buried in settings. With the update, all primary working elements are now in one consolidated workspace section on the left panel. This design cuts down the time spent searching through menus and increases the speed of routine actions. For example, testing new prompts or switching between model files is faster since everything has a clear, visible spot. Teams benefit from less confusion when sharing screens or pairing on tasks, since the workspace is more logically grouped and accessible.

Practice Exercise

Open the latest version of your private AI chatbot app.

1. Locate the workspace section on the left panel.
2. Click through model files, prompts, documents, and playground. Note which features have moved compared to previous layouts.
3. Ask yourself: Does this new arrangement make it faster to find items, or do you need to adjust your habits? Try running a simple test in the playground using a sample prompt to confirm you can reach all the needed sections easily.
