Custom instructions let you set persistent creative preferences that apply across all your generations on Reve. Instead of repeating the same details in every prompt, you can set them once and Reve will apply them automatically.

### Setting your custom instructions

To add custom instructions, click **Custom** in the chat interface and then select **Custom instructions** and add your instructions in the text box.

### Examples of good uses for custom instructions

- _Use a consistent color palette of muted, earthy tones across all generations._
- _Always generate images in 2k resolution._
- _When generating people, always ensure diverse representation across ethnicity, age and gender._

### **When to use prompts instead**

If a preference only applies to a specific generation, include it in your prompt rather than your custom instructions. Custom instructions are best reserved for things you want applied every time without exception.
