Before you begin

  • Existing steps and updated, ready sources.
On this page

Preserve the version you need

  1. 1

    Export a .stepgen package or duplicate the project before a major revision.

  2. 2

    Update or add the source material and wait for processing to finish.

  3. 3

    Add a text note explaining what changed and which source revision governs.

  4. 4

    Open Sources and choose Re-Generate.

Choose the correct regeneration mode

OptionWhat it doesWhen it helps
Update Existing StepsUses your current steps as a base and refines them with the latest sources.You added a source, clarified a requirement, or need a controlled revision.
Start FreshDeletes the existing steps and generates a new set.The old structure is no longer appropriate and you want a new draft.

Both choices may significantly change the current instruction. Update Existing Steps is not a promise to preserve every sentence, field, or attachment.

Clarify and review the result

  1. 1

    Complete the clarification stage with the updated requirements.

  2. 2

    Let the generation finish; reopen the progress window if you closed it.

  3. 3

    Compare the revised steps with the new sources and your retained copy.

  4. 4

    Review media and fields, confirm saving, and create a new export if needed.

Replace the delivered version deliberately

Previously downloaded documents and packages do not update themselves. Distribute a new export when the reviewed instruction changes.

If readers use a share link, review the current shared view and its expiry. Communicate your own revision and approval process outside the AI draft workflow.
