13. Re-upload and re-analyze in place

Open any report and choose Re-analyze. The Configure screen comes back with your previous choices, and the estimate shows the cost before you commit.

Adding modules — pay only for what you add

If you only tick new premium modules (say, add SEO and Audio Health to a run that had Hook and Pacing), the app reuses what it already read and bills only the modules you add. The report gains the new sections; the earlier ones are unchanged.

Re-scan from scratch

Turn on Re-scan from scratch when the video itself changed (new cut, new thumbnail, re-upload) or when an earlier run had stale data. It reads the whole video again, so it costs the same as a fresh analysis. Prior runs are preserved in the report so you can compare before and after.

Uploaded videos and the 48-hour copy

For uploads, the file is kept on Google only briefly (about 48 hours) so you can add modules or lenses without uploading again. If that copy has expired — or you deleted it with Delete from Google now — the app asks you to Upload again; drop the same file and continue. Your report and notes are untouched.

Questions people ask

Do I pay the full price to add one module?

No. Adding modules to an existing run bills only the modules you add. A Re-scan from scratch costs like a fresh analysis because the video is read again.

Why did it ask me to upload the file again?

The temporary copy on Google expires after about 48 hours (or when you delete it). Uploading again restores it; nothing else changes.

Where do earlier runs go?

They stay in the report, so you can compare versions.
