手順

1. Navigate to All > Assistant Designer.
2. From the Assistants tab, select Edit for the assistant that you want to edit.

   If you’re only able to view an assistant and are unable to edit it, it’s because you don’t have permission to edit the assistant in a specific domain. For more information about assistants in different domains, see View assistants.

   Edit mode opens the assistant in a sub-tab where you can manage and test your chat assistant.

   The sub-tab shows the assistant name and whether it's a chat or voice assistant.

   The Overview page shows the following components:

   • Assistant name
   • Assistant status: active or inactive
   • Assistant hierarchy: primary or secondary assistant. This section only appears if an assistant is set as a primary or secondary assistant.
   • Assistant description
   • Display experience
   • Additional chat features: web search mode, response streaming, document uploads, closed chats, and voice input (for Now Assist panel Platform assistant).
3. From the Overview page, select the appropriate button or link to make your edits.
