How to Edit and Modify Google Gemini Responses? Step By Step Simple Guide

Google Gemini, with its endless features, has become a go-to tool. The AI platform can be your go-to companion for creative text formats, informative answers, and engaging conversations. But what if you don’t like the response, even after an accurate prompt?

Don’t worry, Gemini is now capable of editing and modifying output to meet your specific needs. Here, this article will guide you through editing and modifying Gemini responses in a few simple steps, complete with an illustrative example.

How to edit and modify Google Gemini responses?

Gemini is a family of multimodal large language models developed by Google DeepMind. There are two main approaches to editing Gemini’s responses:

In-line Editing: It modifies specific portions of the text directly within Gemini.

Modify Response Feature: This option lets you adjust the overall tone, length, or style of the entire response.

Step-by-Step Guide: In-line Editing

Let’s delve into in-line editing using an example. Imagine asking the AI platform to write an essay on India. Here’s how to refine the outcome:

Step 1: Generate the text, providing an accurate prompt.

Step 2: Highlight and modify the portion you want to edit.

Step 3: Now use the popped-out pencil to modify the text.

Step-by-Step Guide: Modify Response Feature

Now, let’s explore the Modify Response feature. Let’s use the same prompt as above, an essay on India and its vibrant culture and diversity.

Step 1: Generate text the same as for in-line-editing.

Step 2: Scroll down for the modify option, available at the bottom. 

Step 3: Pick from the available options to modify your output further.

Limitations For Edit/Modify Feature

There are certain restrictions on changing output. You might occasionally run across the message, “Gemini could not do that.” As per Google, here are the common reasons why you may get this error:

• Using prompts that do not provide Gemini with instructions on how to modify the highlighted text.
• If you alter the text format, such as the colour, font style, or size, use prompts.
• Entering prompts that violate Google’s Prohibited Use Policy is advised.
• Avoid using prompts that alter the response’s overall context.
• Gemini occasionally struggles to comprehend complex prompts.

You can learn more about the limitations through the Google Policy.

However, that does not mean that you cannot experiment. These editing options are just the beginning of achieving the best quality content.
