# Micro Editing

Micro-editing lets you make targeted changes to specific elements within an email — without regenerating the entire email or rewriting your prompt from scratch.

It is the tool to reach for when your email is 90% right and you need to fix one thing: a subject line that needs more punch, a paragraph that's slightly off-brand, a CTA that isn't specific enough, or a header that needs rewording.

### What micro-editing is for

In Humanic, all changes are made through prompts — including design updates like font, color, layout, and corner rounding. Micro-editing applies that same prompt-based approach to specific, targeted elements rather than the email as a whole.

This matters because when you have a well-structured email that you're largely happy with, a broad regeneration prompt can inadvertently change things you wanted to keep. Micro-editing gives you surgical control — touch what needs changing, leave everything else exactly as it is.

### What you can micro-edit

**Subject lines** — rewrite or sharpen the subject line without touching the email body.

**Preview text** — update the preview text shown in inbox previews independently of the subject line and body.

**Individual paragraphs** — rewrite a specific paragraph for tone, length, clarity, or focus without affecting the rest of the body copy.

**Calls to action** — change the CTA text, button label, or link destination for a specific button.

**Headers and section titles** — update individual headings within a structured email.

**Design elements** — adjust colors, fonts, button styles, corner rounding, spacing, and layout through targeted prompts. All design changes in Humanic are prompt-driven, not panel-driven.

**Images** — swap or update images in specific sections of the email.

### How to micro-edit

**Step 1 — Open the email you want to edit**

Navigate to the campaign and open the specific email within the sequence you want to change.

**Step 2 — Select the element**

Click on the specific element you want to edit — a paragraph, subject line, button, or image. This targets your prompt to that element specifically.

**Step 3 — Type your instruction**

Write a targeted prompt describing the change you want. The more specific your instruction, the more precise the result.

Examples of effective micro-edit prompts:

"Rewrite this paragraph to be two sentences shorter and more direct."

"Change the CTA button text to 'Start your free trial' and make the button blue."

"Rewrite the subject line to create more urgency without sounding salesy."

"Update the header font to match our brand — use a sans-serif, clean style."

"Replace this section image with something that better reflects a professional SaaS environment."

**Step 4 — Review and accept or retry**

Humanic generates the updated element. If it's right, accept it. If it needs further refinement, add another targeted prompt. You can iterate on a single element as many times as needed without affecting the rest of the email.

### Micro-editing vs. full regeneration

Use micro-editing when your email is structurally sound and you are making targeted improvements.

Use a full prompt regeneration when the email needs significant reworking — a different angle, a new structure, or a fundamental change in tone or audience framing.

When in doubt, micro-edit first. It is faster, more precise, and preserves the work you have already done.

### Frequently asked questions

**Can I micro-edit emails in a multi-email campaign sequence?**

Yes. You can open and micro-edit any individual email within a sequence independently. Changes to one email do not affect the others.

**Can I undo a micro-edit?**

If you are not happy with the result of a micro-edit, type a follow-up instruction to correct it, or describe what the previous version had that you preferred and ask Humanic to restore it.

**Do design changes made through micro-editing affect the whole email or just one section?**

It depends on your instruction. If you say "change all buttons to blue," the change applies globally within that email. If you say "change this button to blue," only the selected element is affected. Be explicit in your prompt about scope.
