Quick summary

Editing an existing Lovable project lets you refine your app by running new AI prompts, switching between Design, Code, and Cloud tabs, and applying visual changes — all without starting from scratch. The workflow is repeatable, so you can continuously improve your project with detailed prompts and tab-specific editing tools.

Steps

Navigate to the left-side panel and click All Projects.
Find and open the specific project you want to edit.
Type and run a new prompt with as many details as possible to implement your desired changes.
Use the top menu to switch between available tabs such as Preview, Design, Cloud, or Code.
Use the tab-specific options under your selected tab — for example, browse Themes or apply Visual Edits — to make further adjustments.
Click Apply to save your changes.
Confirm that your Lovable project has been updated; repeat the steps to make additional edits.
