Bolt.new Onboarding Series | Part 3: Mastering the Bolt Workspace
In Part 3 of the Bolt.new Onboarding Series, we take a complete walkthrough of the Bolt workspace and explore the tools that give you control over your build. Understanding the interface isn’t just about navigation, it’s about working efficiently, reducing unnecessary token usage, protecting your progress, and collaborating effectively. We’ll cover how to move between prompt, preview, and code views, when to edit directly versus prompting, how version history works, and how to safely prepare your app for publishing. *In this video, you’ll learn* - Attaching files and Figma frames to guide the AI agent - Using the prompt library and saving custom prompts - Choosing the right AI model (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) - Selecting and editing UI elements directly - Managing version history, bookmarks, and project duplication - Editing code directly to save tokens - Understanding Supabase migration files and terminal access - Connecting your project to GitHub - Sharing privately vs. publishing publicly - Running Bolt’s built-in security scan *Timestamps* 00:00 - Intro 00:14 - Attaching Files, Images & Figma Frames 00:54 - Prompt Library, Slash Commands, Enhanced Prompt & Help Center 01:45 - Choosing Your AI Model 02:53 - Select Tool 03:23 - Project Switcher, Naming, Recent Projects & Version History Restores 04:20 - Duplicate, Export, Visibility & Templates 04:45 - Preview vs Code 05:18 - Database & Terminal Access 05:53 - Database, Auth, Server Functions & Shortcuts 06:34 - Preview Navigation & Device Testing 07:13 - GitHub Integration 08:03 - Share vs Publish 08:57 - Security Scan *About Bolt* Bolt turns ideas into production software in minutes — entirely in your browser.
