# Reuse a setup

Bring back a result's prompt and settings, then change only what you need.

## Start from a result you like

Choose **Reuse Input** beneath a result—the circular-arrow icon—or beside its prompt in the session history.

Reuse Input is the circular arrow at the left of the action row. The link icon on the right is Add as Reference.

The Prompt Bar restores that generation's **prompt, model, settings, and input references**. It does not generate anything until you press **Generate**.

## Review what came back

![Restored image Prompt Bar with the original Aurora coastal-product prompt, Nano Banana 2, 16:9, Count 4, and a four-credit estimate.](https://pub-60e30bed45514f03933d3900731bea31.r2.dev/public-app-sessions/v1/documentation/sessions-reuse-restored-c3fbfda395647c8d.webp)

The original batch setup restored: Nano Banana 2, 16:9, and Count 4. No new images have been generated.

Edit the part you want to explore: a different setting, lighting, colour, or camera move. Check **Count** and the credit estimate before generating.

Reusing one image from a four-image batch can restore **Count 4**. Change it to **1** if you only want one new result.

## Reuse Input or Add as Reference?

| Choose                   | When you want to…                                                           |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Reuse Input**          | Restore the recipe that produced the result, including its original inputs. |
| **Add as Reference**     | Attach the finished image or video to your current draft as an input.       |
| **Copy** beside a prompt | Copy just the prompt text.                                                  |

For example, to make another interpretation of the same coastal brief, use **Reuse Input**. To keep this exact cup and change its glaze, use **Add as Reference** and describe the edit.

Attach the result, mention it with @, and tell the model what to preserve.
