You made a product walkthrough last month. The recording and explanatory graphic are still accurate, but the next video is for customer success rather than new users. Start a new brief with the earlier project as a source. That preserves the original tutorial while giving the new project a point of reference.
Check what the earlier project contains
Open the conversation you own and inspect its latest saved project. Find the scene, screenshot or graphic you want and note what must change. A saved source can contain a mixture of current visuals and outdated claims. Mark the specific material worth carrying forward.
If the current tutorial itself contains an error, reopen it and revise the affected scene. If you need an independent variation of the full project, consider a version or fork. A conversation reference is useful when the new brief needs selected material from an earlier job.
Add the conversation to the new brief
Paste the old conversation link into the new video brief or use the composer’s Conversation command. Check the name shown on the reference before proceeding. In the capture below, the brief identifies an owned project by name, and the reference menu lets the author open or remove it.
Use sources and attachments for entry points and ownership requirements. A project shared by someone else does not become a reusable owned project just because you can watch its video.
Say what to reuse and what to replace
Try this brief: “Use the setup recording from my referenced onboarding lesson and the graphic that explains the account roles. Make a new video for customer success managers. Replace last month’s closing message with the attached release note. Keep the original tutorial separate.”
Review the plan and the resulting scenes. Did the editor use the right recording? Does the graphic still match the interface? If a new cut has inherited an old date or promise, name it and supply the current source. The capture above demonstrates selecting the reference; the final asset choices depend on your brief and project.
Recover when the reference is unavailable
Check that the link identifies the right conversation and that you own it in the signed-in account. If you only need one permitted file, attach it directly instead. Use the revision guide for a targeted correction once the new draft exists.
