Prompt Version Metadata
## Prompt Version Metadata
Promptly allows you to add optional metadata fields to your prompt templates, such as `version`, `author`, and `change_notes`. This metadata can be useful for tracking changes to your prompts and for documentation purposes.
### Adding Metadata to Prompts
To add metadata to a prompt, include a YAML front matter block at the beginning of your template file. The front matter block must start and end with `---`.
