Choose an output style

Set a session's own output style, or change the default every new session opens with.

You want a session to write in a particular style, either for a single session or as the new default.

1. For a single session, open the New session screen and choose a value from its Output style list. The default option reads Follow settings, naming the style Settings currently picks.
2. For the default every new session opens with, open Settings, the tab for that session's engine, and choose a style under Output style.
3. To write a style of your own, press New style under that same section, fill in its fields, and press Create style.

The composer has no mid-session style control. A choice made on the New session screen only reaches the session it starts.

See Settings for the Output style section on the Claude, Codex and Gemini tabs.
