How to organise your Midjourney prompts (and never lose a good one)

Why prompts get lost

Midjourney keeps a history of your jobs, but over hundreds of generations it becomes a long feed sorted by time. When a client comes back for "the same look as before", you end up scrolling, or rebuilding the prompt from memory and never quite matching it.

A system that works

1. Save at creation, not later. If saving is a separate step, it won't happen on a busy day.
2. Organise by project. One folder per client, campaign or series. Dates are a poor index for creative work.
3. Keep the full prompt. Include every parameter and style code. The --ar, --s and --sref values are often what made it work.
4. Name variations clearly. Man in a business suit, ... green suit, ... red suit reads better than v2_final_final.
5. Make it searchable. A library you can't search is a library you won't use.
6. Keep styles separate. Store reusable looks (style codes) in their own collection so they can be mixed with any subject.
