Outcome Revision Flow
HornetHive's revision system lets you refine outcomes without starting from scratch, saving time and tokens while improving quality.
How Revisions Work
Revision Types
Tone Adjustments
When to use: Content is good but doesn't match your brand voice
- Formal → Casual: "Make this more conversational"
- Technical → Accessible: "Simplify for non-technical audience"
- Corporate → Personal: "Add more personality and humor"
Example:
Original: "Our enterprise-grade solution facilitates optimization..." Revised: "Our tool helps you work faster and smarter..."
Length Changes
When to use: Content needs to be longer/shorter for your format
- Expand: Add more detail, examples, or sections
- Condense: Trim for social media, email, or brief formats
- Restructure: Change from long-form to bullet points
Example:
Original: 1200-word blog post Revised: 300-word LinkedIn post + 5 key takeaways
Factual Updates
When to use: Information is outdated or incorrect
- Data updates: New statistics or research
- Product changes: Feature updates or pricing
- Context additions: Missing background information
Example:
Original: "Our Series A was $5M..." Revised: "Our Series B was $12M..." (with updated context)
Format Changes
When to use: Structure doesn't match your needs
- Blog → Email: Convert long-form to newsletter format
- Article → Social: Break into thread or carousel posts
- Formal → FAQ: Restructure as question-and-answer format
How to Request Revisions
Step 1: Review Your Outcome
- Open the completed outcome in your dashboard
- Read through the content thoroughly
- Identify specific issues: What exactly needs to change?
- Note what works well: What should stay the same?
Step 2: Choose Revision Type
- Click "Request Revision" on the outcome page
- Select revision category:
- 🎨 Tone & Style
- 📏 Length & Format
- 📊 Facts & Data
- 🔧 Structure & Flow
- Provide specific feedback (see tips below)
Step 3: Provide Detailed Feedback
Good revision requests:
- ✅ "Make the tone more conversational - like you're explaining to a friend"
- ✅ "Add a section about pricing comparison with competitors"
- ✅ "Change the intro to hook readers with a surprising statistic"
- ✅ "Break the middle section into 3 bullet points for readability"
Avoid vague requests:
- ❌ "Make it better"
- ❌ "Fix the tone"
- ❌ "Add more information"
- ❌ "It's not quite right"
Step 4: Agents Process Revision
- Smart re-execution: Only necessary agents run (saves tokens)
- Context preservation: Previous work is used as foundation
- Incremental improvement: Changes build on existing quality
- Real-time tracking: Watch progress in your dashboard

Best Practices
Write Effective Revision Requests
- Be specific: "Change the conclusion to include a stronger call-to-action with 3 specific next steps"
- Provide examples: "Make it sound more like this [paste example] but for our topic"
- Set context: "This will be published on LinkedIn for B2B marketers"
- Prioritize changes: "Most important: fix the technical accuracy. Nice to have: more casual tone"
Get Better Results
- One thing at a time: Focus each revision on a single type of change
- Reference your brand: Include style guide or voice examples
- Think about your audience: Specify who will read this content
- Use the outcome: Test different approaches based on performance
Save Time & Money
- Review carefully first: Catch multiple issues in one revision
- Provide context upfront: Better initial briefs = fewer revisions needed
- Use templates: Create outcome templates for consistent quality
- Learn from patterns: Note what revision types you request most often
Troubleshooting Revisions
"Revision didn't address my feedback"
- Check your request specificity - was it detailed enough?
- Try a different revision type - maybe it's a format issue, not tone
- Provide examples of what you want in the next revision
- Contact support if the issue persists
"Revision made things worse"
- You can revert to any previous version
- Try a more targeted approach in your next revision
- Provide positive examples alongside negative feedback
- Consider starting fresh if fundamental approach is wrong
"Hit my revision limit"
- Purchase additional revisions for $5 each
- Start a new outcome with lessons learned
- Upgrade your plan for more complex projects
- Use manual editing for small final tweaks
