Create a snippet

1

Open the Snippets page

Go to app.sprintbrain.com. The Snippets page opens first.
2

Click New snippet

The editor opens.
3

Name it

Type a Name, for example Quote English. Emoji are left out of names. While you type, the Trigger fills itself in from the name. Type your own trigger at any point to take it over.
4

Check the trigger

A trigger uses letters, numbers, _ and -, up to 60 characters. The box in front of it shows your prefix, so you can read the whole shortcut, like ::quote_english.
5

Write the body

Type the text in Body. Use the panel on the left to add fields, formulas and conditions at the cursor.
6

Save

Click Create snippet. It’s ready to use in the extension and on your phone.
The editor also holds:
  • Folder: where the snippet lives.
  • Labels: tags you share between snippets and prompts.
  • Alternative queries: extra words that insert the same snippet and that the selection menu recognises. Press Enter or a comma after each one. A warning appears if one of them is already another snippet’s trigger.
  • Language pills (EN, IT, ES, FR, Multi) above the body. See Languages.
  • Preview: shows the fill form and the finished text while you write. It needs a wide window.
To edit a snippet, click its row. Save changes keeps the old wording in version history.

​
Folders

Folders sit in the rail on the left of the Snippets page. Click + at the top of the rail to create one. A folder has a name, an optional description (shown under its title), an icon and an optional parent folder. Folders nest up to three levels deep. Right-click a folder for New subfolder, Rename, Change icon, Share with team… and Delete folder. Deleting a folder moves its snippets to All snippets and its subfolders to the top level. To move a snippet, drag its row onto a folder in the rail. The button beside the search box hides and shows the rail.
Folders are also how you share with your team: everyone you share a folder with can use what’s inside. See Sharing and permissions.

​
Labels

Labels are one list for snippets and prompts. Each has one of eight colours, and a label can have sub-labels one level down.
  • Add labels in the editor, or from a row’s menu with Label as.
  • To create, rename, recolour or delete labels, open Labels in the filter bar and choose Manage labels. Deleting a label with sub-labels moves them to the top level.

​
Find a snippet

  • The search box above the table matches names, triggers and tags.
  • The search bar at the top of the dashboard looks through snippets, prompts and memory at once.
  • Filter by language and by label, and sort by Name, Updated or Usage.
  • Show 10, 25 or 100 rows per page.

​
Actions on a snippet

  • The pencil opens the editor.
  • The ⋯ menu has Pin to top, History, Clone, Label as, Disable and Delete. A disabled snippet stays in the list but doesn’t expand.
  • Right-click a row for Edit, Pin to top, Duplicate, Disable and Delete snippet.
Delete asks for a second click to confirm.

​
Work on several at once

Tick the boxes on the left of the rows. A bar appears: choose Move to folder or Delete selected, then Apply to the selected snippets.

​
Unused snippets

When a snippet hasn’t been used for six months, a notice appears above the list. It names the snippet and offers:
  • Delete
  • Modify, which opens the editor.
  • Keep, which hides the notice for that snippet for 90 days on this browser.
Change how long SprintBrain waits (6 to 9 months) under Settings, Unused snippets and prompts.
