📌 Incorrect Prompt Label in GPT-4.1 Prompting Guide

Hi OpenAI Team 👋,

I was reading the GPT-4.1 Prompting Guide and found a small inconsistency:

In the section:

// for internal knowledge

Only use the documents in the provided External Context to answer the User Query...

The label says "for internal knowledge" — but the instruction clearly says to use external context only and avoid internal model knowledge. This could be confusing for developers.

🛠️ Suggested fix:
Change the label from:

// for internal knowledge

to:

// for external-only context

Thanks for the amazing documentation and tooling — just wanted to help improve clarity for others. Keep up the great work! 🚀
