Reverting to Previous AI Iteration


Prerequisites: Users must create new content or enhance existing content using AI prompts. The iteration history list remains unavailable until the user creates at least one iteration. See one of the following topics to generate content with AI:

Ingeniux AI system users may choose to revert to content generated from a previous prompt instead of proceeding with content generated from their most recent prompt. Users can use the AI iteration history feature to revisit content iterations generated from past AI prompts.

When working with iteration history, users can choose content from a previous prompt and then enhance their chosen iteration with a new AI prompt. If users revert to content from a previous prompt and proceed to use a new AI prompt, the AI system creates another iteration. This new iteration displays as the most recent entry in the Result History list.

To revert to a previous AI content iteration:
  1. Choose one of the following steps in the Add Content to Field dialog.
    • Select the Recent drop-down list to expand Result History entries. Choose an entry in the list to open the associated iteration.

      Result History provides the list of all iterations you applied during the current generative AI session. Each list entry indicates the prompt used to create the past iteration, and the entry also indicate whether you used the prompt to create, enhance, or enhance selected content.

      Note
      You can also revert to the original content before you applied AI adjustments by selecting the ORIGINAL CONTENT entry in the Result History list.

      Recent Result History

    • Use the previous (left) and next (right) arrows to click through and display all iterations in the current generative AI session.

      This arrow buttons streamline the process for reviewing one iteration one at a time. The numbers the left of the arrow buttons indicate the number of the current iteration and also indicates the total number of available iterations within your generative AI session.

      Previous and Next Iterations

  2. If you want to further modify your chosen iteration, choose one of the following steps:
    • Modify the iteration by applying your own manual edits directly within the dialog.

      You can add, change, or delete text directly within the content iteration. Place your cursor within the content to start editing.

    • Run additional AI Enhance prompts on the content iteration.

      You can further enhance the content by running one or more additional AI prompts on the content.

      See Enhancing Plain Text Content with Generative AI for details to use AI to enhance content within plain text elements.

      See Enhancing XHTML Editor Content with Generative AI for details to use AI to enhance content within XHTML editor elements.

    • Use iteration history again to revert existing content to content generated from a previous AI prompt.

      You can use iteration history in conjunction with additional new AI prompts to further modify the existing content.

      Troubleshooting

      You may notice the Result History count is less than the “previous/next” iteration count. For example, let's say the previous/next count indicates six available iterations for the current session. However, the Result History only indicates five entries. This discrepancy is expected, as the Result History indicates when you reused the same prompt to create multiple content iterations.

      When you reuse the same prompt to create iterations, the correlating Result History entry displays a number next to the prompt. This number indicates the total times you reused the prompt.

      Result History Reused Prompts

    • Run a fresh AI Create New prompt on the generated content.

      If you do not plan to use content from current or previous iterations, you can run a new Create New prompt to replace the content.

      See Creating Content with Generative AI for details.

      Important

      Create New generates content based on only the provided AI prompt and does not take into account the existing content from the previous prompt. If you run an additional Create New prompt, the AI content generation process will completely replace the existing content.

      However, keep in mind you can retrieve content generated from previous prompts by using the iteration history tool.

  3. Select Apply to Field when you finish editing the content created by AI.
    Warning
    After you apply your changes or close Add Content to Field dialog without applying changes, the dialog preserves your previous prompt history. However, the CMS will not preserve your content iteration history. Ensure you are ready to commit or cancel your generative AI changes before closing the dialog.
    The CMS applies the content to the element.
  4. Select Save in the Edit tab toolbar to save your element value changes.
