- All the content and structure i.e. stages, themes, elements, labels and stage gates.
- All the delivery data within the grid i.e. end dates, completion dates, RAG, status, flags etc.
- The details of all teams members with access to the grid i.e. assignees, experts etc.
It does not have access to:

Using AI Chat
When you first open a new, blank AI chat, you will see some example quick prompts to get you started with ideas and the input to add your own prompts.

Chat Prompts
Simply type in your prompt and the AI chat will respond. Once you have started a chat, you can continue to work with the AI within the context of the ongoing chat. If you close the chat and return to it later, the last chat you had in progress will be remembered for each grid you chat with. To clear a chat and start a new one, click the clear and start new chat button.
