I’m having trouble getting my system prompt to stay saved in Copilot Studio. I enter the full prompt into the Instructions section and click Save, but when I return later, the text is gone. I’m not very tech‑savvy, so I’m not sure if I’m missing a step or saving it in the wrong place. Any guidance on how to make the system prompt save consistently would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Good Day 

    Can you try entering the prompt, publishing, and checking again if you can see the prompt?
     
    I have noticed that when I create a new agent, the publish button won't enable immediately; it takes time
     
    Also, ensure you save the prompt. Refer to the image below for reference

    I noticed a similar problem. I update the instructions then save. The instructions seems to disappear but after 10 sec and a refresh they reappear.
     
    There's also a small delay with new instructions when testing. I learned to avoid spamming changes and let the system ingest before testing.
