Disclaimer:
Custom Instructions, are currently stored locally on the user’s browser/device, regardless of conversation storage or sync settings. As a result, these features do not automatically synchronize across different browsers or devices. If users want to reuse them when switching browsers or devices, they should save their custom instructions externally (for example, in a Word document) and recreate them as needed. This is a known issue, and the CometAI team is actively working to address it in a future release.
