After specifying exactly how your new promo code works:

## Descriptions

<figure><img src="/files/B6zuUX4mA9qH0qZJPM5d" alt=""><figcaption><p>Live and Auto Description toggle for a Promo Code.</p></figcaption></figure>

When you create a new promo code, Tuplo Studio automatically generates a promo description using the rules and restrictions applied. Copy and paste this description into the Detail field to help standardize your promo descriptions.

To **switch** between the live and auto descriptions:

1. **Select** a promo in the Promos tab.
2. **Click** the Live/Auto Icon.
3. **Select** an option from the dropdown menu.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="124"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><h3><img src="/files/gvnUIpbY8vK0DT2ufXb7" alt="" data-size="original"></h3></td><td><strong>Live Description</strong><br>Choosing this option will display whatever text the detail entry contains.</td></tr><tr><td><h3><img src="/files/hb4oRGdIVEIQVzfqDn0w" alt="" data-size="original"></h3></td><td><strong>Auto Description</strong><br>Choosing this option will display the automatically generated description created by Tuplo Studio based on the rules and restrictions applied to your promo.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Quick Tips!**

If you copy and paste the auto description into the details entry when building your promo, both options will appear the same. Make sure to enter your description into the detail entry if you want the live description to differ from the auto description.
{% endhint %}
