Not feeling the current draft? No problem. Nookly makes it easy to tweak or completely refresh your story at any point before you finalize it.
🔄 Step 1: Click "Fresh version"
On the story draft screen, you'll find a Fresh version button in the top right corner, next to the pencil icon. Click it to open the Change your story panel.
You have two options:
✏️ Option 1: Revise draft
Choose Revise draft if you like the general direction but want to make specific changes — without starting from scratch.
Type exactly what you'd like Nookly to change in the text box. Be as specific or broad as you like. For example:
"Add a dragon companion"
"Change the setting to space"
"Make it funnier"
Nookly will use your current draft as the base and apply your instructions to create a revised version. You have up to 500 characters to describe your changes.
✨ Option 2: Start fresh
Choose Start fresh if you'd rather generate something completely new from the ground up.
Before regenerating, pick a story pace:
Snappy — Shorter pages. Easier page turns. Great for younger kids or shorter attention spans.
Balanced ⭐ Recommended — A classic picture-book rhythm. The sweet spot for most ages.
More story — Longer pages with more detail. Ideal for kids who want a richer read.
Once you've picked your pace, click Create draft and Nookly will generate a brand new version of the story.
💡 Tip: You can regenerate as many times as you like before moving forward. Don't be afraid to keep going until it feels just right.
