When crafting writing prompts, small changes in wording or configuration can lead to major differences in results. Managing and sharing different versions of these prompts, especially among team members, can be challenging. The Baserun Compare feature enables the entire team to compare prompt templates, models, and configurations side by side, facilitating easier iteration and performance evaluation.

​

Instruction

1

Click the `Compare` button at top right corner of the prompt details in your playground.

In the latest version, we merged the “Compare” and “Playground” tabs into one. You can now switch between the two modes through tabs. “New session” will default to the “Playground” mode.”New compare session” will default to the “Compare” mode.

2

Select the prompt and the versions you would like to compare.

By default, Baserun pre-selects the previous version, but you can also create a new version within the comparison report.

3

Click Run all to generate outputs.

You can also edit the test inputs at any time and rerun the test.

4

Save as the active version.

After you have decided on the best-performing version, click on the prompt card, and then click on the ‘Save as the Active Version’ button. This action will set the selected version as the active version for the prompt.
