Use Write a fresh version when the current story draft needs more than a few page edits. You can revise the existing direction or start over with a new draft and pace.
Open the Change your story panel
Open the story’s draft-review page.
Leave page-editing mode if it is open.
Find Not the story you pictured?
Select Write a fresh version.
The Change your story panel offers two paths: Revise draft and Start fresh.
Option 1: Revise the current draft
Choose Revise draft when you want to keep the plot’s general direction and request a broader change. Enter a clear instruction in the text box, then select Create draft.
Examples:
“Keep the tiny library, but make the ending happen at bedtime.”
“Replace the mouse with Maya’s dog, Mochi.”
“Use shorter sentences and keep each page focused on one action.”
Nookly uses the current draft as context. Review the new version from beginning to end.
Option 2: Start fresh
Choose Start fresh when you want a different version rather than a revision of the current plot. Select a pace:
Snappy: shorter pages and easier page turns.
Balanced: the recommended classic picture-book rhythm.
More story: longer pages for children who want more detail.
Select Create draft, wait for the new version, and review every page.
Which option should I use?
Use direct page editing for one or two exact wording changes.
Use Revise draft for a broad instruction that should reshape the current story.
Use Start fresh when the plot, tone, or pace needs a genuinely different direction.
Good to know
Creating a new draft replaces what you are currently reviewing, so read the live confirmation carefully.
A new version still needs adult review for accuracy, tone, age fit, and private information.
Choose the pace for the child and reading moment—not simply the longest option.
