How to Maintain AI Prompt Formatting When Using Google Docs

Hey! I am working on a fairly long AI prompt that I would ideally like to work on in google docs where it is a bit easier to get an overview of the entire prompt but when copying and pasting back and forth, the column mapping is lost. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Unfortunately, copying and pasting AI prompts between Clay and Google Docs may result in losing column mapping. Instead, we recommend using Clay's built-in AI help tool for creating and editing prompts. Here's how: 1. While configuring the "Use AI" enrichment, click the "Help me" button. 2. Enter your desired outcome in the "Task description" field. 3. The tool will generate a tailored prompt to help you achieve your goal. 4. Verify that the dynamic prompt inputs are correctly linked to the appropriate columns. This method allows you to work on your prompts directly within Clay, maintaining column mappings and ensuring compatibility with our system.
