in playground, my prompts are gone. I can click import and see the prompts listed as presets, but I cannot access those presets and clicking import does nothing
If presets are being deprecated / removed, this is completely undocumented, unannounced, and entirely by surprise. I felt like a crazy person waving my cursor around looking for the presets option in Chat Completions today.
Update: Imported the presets into “prompts”. It’s a shame they went from 0 to 100 in the deprecation timeline overnight.
Feel like this was a v unnecessary change.
Please refer to this link with an explanation:

This is nice but I have lost access to the four presets I really need. I can see them and check the boxes and click import, but it doesn’t appear to accomplish anything
Chat Completions has existing presets back.
It is still ruined - you cannot save new ones or get the share links, and existing links to chat completions are broken.
An existing preset from before Responses (showing someone how to solve their problem) - it rewrites the URL as soon as it is clicked to be “nothing”, with no preset name.

That means they cannot be managed if you wanted to, either.
(along with a “Switch to Responses” message being shown there…)
Click on history at top right. (optimize code compare >>history<< responses API)
I was able to retrieve my prompts that way.
Big gold star to the genius who did this.
Hey there, two ways of accessing Presets:
- Go to Prompts (Responses) and “Import preset” to get the prompt equivalent (now versioned, can be templated, etc)
- Toggle to Chat Completions and view presets in the dropdown directly
Just a bit of what hasn’t changed:
- Playground history is not server-side; it is stored in the local browser DOM storage indexedDb
- Playground code will go into that existing storage when you log in again, and delete anything older than 30 days, without any other reasoning.
- Loss when using another browser, browser profile, or clearing storage cache.
So even client-side data is a “keep your own copy” - save what you can now against unannounced immediate changes.

Chat Completions remains our most widely adopted API, and we’re fully committed to supporting it with new models and capabilities. Developers who don’t require built-in tools can confidently continue using Chat Completions.
Any such “confidence” was apparently misplaced trust.
