Copilot Designer prompt blocked – How to fix

The Designer tool of the Copilot helps user generate images without them having to rely upon any third-party tool. But, just like any other Microsoft services, it is not completely error free. All the prompts may not give you positive responses. Some prompts on the Designer part of the Copilot do get blocked due to various reasons. We have discussed all the scenarios your prompt get blocked, and how to resolve that.

 

Fix 1 – Can’t use indecent prompts

Usage of vulgar, indecent prompts are strictly blocked at the server side of Copilot Designer. As the tool is directly dependent on Open AI’s latest image generation models, there is a restriction placed upon the creation or distribution of explicit materials. The directive includes any sexual, gore, disturbing or any other type of harmful imagery.

So, we recommend you restructure your prompt by omitting any request for explicit image generation and retry.

 

Fix 2 – Wait for a while and use only copyright-free prompts

We have already mentioned that the image generation process is completely dependent upon the OpenAI’s models, like DallE3. The time it takes to generate an image relies on the complexity of the prompt. So, if you are using a tricky, sophisticated prompt, you must allow a bit of time for the Copilot to generate the image.

You cannot generate copyrighted contents using the Designer tool of the Copilot. Rephrase the prompt on the Copilot, if that is the case for you.
