A saved AI workflow is most useful when it preserves the decisions behind an approved result. Keep the brief, references, model choices, and review notes together. When a client changes the campaign, you can identify which input needs to change and which parts of the process still apply.
Create an approved baseline
Name the workflow by client or project, output type, and direction. Record the approved input and selected result alongside the graph. The graph explains the process, but the result shows the standard the client actually accepted.
Add a short note about constraints: required product details, colour direction, copy space, and intended use. Avoid storing only a vague label such as “final version.” That label gives the next operator no information about what was approved or why.
Translate feedback into a change request
The ad-refresh examples show distinct changes in style, motion, copy, and format. When a revision needs several alternatives, use the creative-variation guide to keep those directions organized.
Separate a content change from an art-direction change. “Use the blue bottle” changes the subject reference. “Make the scene feel more energetic” needs a concrete visual interpretation before you rerun anything. Ask internally whether that means a stronger angle, different lighting, more background movement, or another specific choice.
An illustrative revision note is: “Replace the green product reference with the approved blue reference. Keep the portrait composition and empty headline area. Review cap shape and label placement again.” It states the change and the parts that need fresh verification.
Preserve the previous decision
- Keep the approved workflow and export available.
- Create a separate revision copy or use available version controls.
- Change the smallest relevant set of inputs.
- Run a bounded sample before expanding variants.
- Compare the revision with the baseline and the new request.
Nova Creative's reusable workflow approach supports returning to an existing graph. Use the save and version options actually available in the current interface, and keep external review notes when needed. Do not rely on a thumbnail alone to explain a client's approval.
Review unchanged details too
Changing one instruction can affect other parts of a generated result. A new background may alter reflections; a new product colour may change the perceived material. Review both the requested change and the important details that were supposed to remain stable.
If the change repeatedly damages an otherwise approved image, a conventional edit may be more suitable than regenerating the whole scene. The right workflow can include a manual finishing step.
Close the revision clearly
Record the selected output, review date, and a short reason it passed. Keep any rejected alternatives distinct from the approved delivery. A saved workflow makes future work easier when another person can understand the inputs, run a small test, and know how to judge it. It should not imply that rerunning an older graph will reproduce an identical file after a model or provider changes.
