Yes. Prefer lets you add, enable, disable or archive tracked prompts at any time from the Prompts console. An archived prompt stops using a slot from the next run, but its history stays readable, and reactivating it resumes tracking on the next run. New prompts join the next tracking run. Last updated 3 October 2026

​
Yes, at any time

Prefer lets you change your tracked prompts whenever you like. There is no lock-in period for a prompt, no fee to swap one, and no wait for a billing cycle. You add, enable, disable and archive from Monitor, then Prompts. When you archive a prompt in Prefer, its slot frees up from the next run and its history stays readable, so you never lose a trend line. That is the main reason to archive instead of starting over. The old results stay in the Archived tab, and you can bring the prompt back later.

How to archive a prompt

  1. Open the Prompts tab in Monitor, then Prompts.
  2. Tick the checkbox next to the prompt row.
  3. Open the row’s menu (the three dots) and choose Archive.
  4. Check the Archived tab to confirm it moved, with its history intact.

​
When to change prompts

Change a prompt when it no longer matches how your buyers ask, not because one run looked bad. Engines vary between runs, so give a prompt a few runs before you judge it. Good reasons to swap: a new product line, a new competitor worth comparing against, a market you entered, or a prompt that never names any brand at all. Keep history length in mind. Prefer keeps 6 months of data on Starter, 24 months on Growth and 36 months on Scale. Archiving keeps a prompt’s trend inside that window. Before you rebuild a list, run the free AI visibility audit to see which questions engines answer in your category, and read how to choose prompts.

Frequently asked questions

No. Prefer counts the prompts you track, not the changes you make. Archive one and its slot is free from the next run, so you can add another in its place at no cost.
Yes. Prefer keeps archived prompts in the Archived tab with their history. Reactivate one and tracking resumes on the next run, and it uses a slot again.
Prefer blocks the action and shows an upgrade prompt. It never bills overage. Archive prompts you no longer need, or move up a tier; upgrades apply immediately.
