How to revise instead of regenerate

Regenerating from scratch every time something's off is usually the worst-value move — a fresh email is charged as a creation, while an edit in the same conversation is charged as a revision, and the second one is far cheaper.

Revisions aren't free either. So the real saving isn't making fewer edits — it's saying everything you want changed in one message.

You don't need a new conversation to edit

Once an email exists, the input box at the bottom changes its placeholder to:

Enter your request: modify content, re-layout, change template, switch style, or a new email request

That sentence is your cue that you're in revision mode. Keep talking, it keeps editing, and it all stays in one thread so you can compare versions.

Five things you'll change most

These all work as written. But every revision you submit costs credits, so batch them where you can — "shorten the subject, drop the second paragraph, add a line about looking forward to a reply" in one message is charged once.

The subject line

The subject is too long — cut it to under 8 words
Make the subject more formal, drop the exclamation mark

The tone

Make the whole thing a bit more polite, but not servile
Too stiff. Write it the way you'd talk to a colleague you get along with

One passage

Delete the second paragraph
Change the date from Wednesday to Thursday at 3pm
Add "Looking forward to your reply" at the end

The layout

Switch to a cleaner layout, this one's too busy
Change the palette to warmer tones, drop the blue

The template

Re-layout this with a different template, keep the content
Switch to a business-style template

After each change, use Preview or Full Screen in the bar above to check it before deciding what's next.

Changing one thing? Fence it off

If only one detail needs to move and everything else should stay exactly as it is, say so explicitly:

Change only the date in the third paragraph. Leave everything else untouched.

That phrasing triggers what's essentially a surgical edit: smallest possible change, most predictable result. The opposite — a vague "can you tweak it" — sometimes rewrites neighbouring paragraphs too. It isn't a malfunction; you just didn't draw the boundary.

When regenerating is genuinely the right call

Three cases, and only three:

1. The audience changed. It was written for a client; now it needs to go to a colleague.
2. Several rounds in, it's still wrong. That means your original brief was missing something. Go back, fill the gap, start fresh — faster than continuing to nudge.
3. You want a genuinely different direction. Keep the current one as a reference and generate a second version alongside it.

Save the ones that work

When a version clicks, hit Favorite below the email and that layout goes into your favourites.

Next time it's waiting for you under the My Favorites tab at the top of the Template Center — no digging required.

Rate Template sits right next to it. Reviews show up on the template's detail page, which helps whoever lands on it after you.
