Once you have all this information ready, you can proceed. Since you’re now on RankBot page, click on the Prompts Library button, which will pop up the Prompts Library items.
In the Prompts Library, navigate to the Blog Post – News option. The prompt you’ll use to generate the news article will appear. Click the Use Prompt button below it.
This will take you back to the RankBot Chat field, where the prompt will be displayed.
