      Caution

      Input texts are only saved in the application's memory for the duration of the current session. They will be erased as soon as you refresh your browser or log out.

      If you want to keep them, you can save or export them as part of a recommender configuration.

    4. Select the input text from the list underneath the search box.

      Tip

      You can delete a saved input text by clicking the cross icon next to it.

    Tip

    Once you have found an optimal combination of recommender settings, you can export them as cURL requests.

    Alternatively, you can save them to the application's database or export them in JSON for future import into this or another instance of the PoolParty Recommender Workbench.
