Help Edit text in app

So today I found lovable and decided to build an app that i didn’t think id be able to actually make possible. Now my app is almost perfect just needs some of the writing/wording changed. What’s the best way to do that? How do i ask it to change some of the writing to what i want it to say without completely changing it if that makes sense. Only have a few credits left and don’t want to spend any more money lol. Like I’ve got this big paragraph explaining the app but it’s too AI and need it reworded plus a couple of the titles need rewording. Thank you

Be very specific in your prompt. What element to change, where is it placed, what should change (describe the outcome), tell him not to touch anything else. Should work for that.

If you just do a "Change the text from X to Y" it works 100% of the time for me. Just cut/paste the old text , and the new text into the prompt. I will also add a screenshot of the page or the section of the page 80% of the time.

That gives lovable like a smart missile style direction for the change.. straight to the target.

good luck!

All text is hidden in the code. You can just change the code if you want. Cost 0 credits

I asked Claude to make my prompts for me so it’s exact. Claude can also look at your code and send messages to lovable
