Regenerate Image vs Fork Stream

If you are looking at one image and deciding what to do next, this page gives you the fastest rule:

• Use Regenerate Image when you want another attempt for the same day in the same stream.
• Use Fork stream when you want to start a new stream path from that image.

Regenerate Image

Regenerate Image keeps you in the current stream and retries the current image slot.

Use it when you want:

• Another variation for this day
• A quick fix without creating a new stream
• To continue your current stream history

Fork stream

Fork stream creates a new stream using the selected image as your starting reference.

Use it when you want:

• A brand-new direction from a specific image
• To experiment without changing the original stream
• Control over fork-specific settings like prompt, model, and reference strength

For a full breakdown of fork controls, read Fork stream settings.

Quick chooser

• If you are refining the same timeline, pick Regenerate Image.
• If you are branching into a new timeline, pick Fork stream.
