Iterating a creative
Improve an existing creative with the remix, Seer-edit, and re-run paths, with lineage preserved.

Creative Strategy
Why iterate instead of starting over
A creative that is close but not quite right is worth improving, not scrapping. Pinnora keeps the full lineage of every creative, so a v1 to v2 to v3 chain stays connected and you never lose the earlier versions. Even deleting a creative is only a soft hide, and the lineage pointing at it survives.
It works like tracked changes in a document. Every edit is on the record, and you can always roll back to a draft you liked better.
The ways to iterate
There are a few paths, all starting from a creative's tile in the Library. Improvise, also called remix, spins off a new child render from the original so you can push it in a new direction. Seer iterate opens the editor on the findings, so you act on exactly what Seer flagged. Re-running a completed render gives you a fresh variant of the same brief. For module outputs rather than rendered creatives, a revise path edits the module artifact in place.
Picking the right one
Use Improvise when you want a different direction from a good starting point. Use Seer iterate when you already have specific findings to fix. Use re-run when the brief was right and you just want another roll of the dice. The real question is whether you are changing the idea, fixing a flaw, or trying again.
Keeping track
Because lineage is preserved, you can compare versions and step back if an edit made things worse. Iteration here is not destructive. Treat the Library as the record of how a creative evolved, not just a grid of finished outputs.
